HP LaserJet 1010/1020/3050 Compatible Toner Q2612A 12A

Looking for toner for your HP LaserJet 1010, 1020 or 3050? The cartridge you need is the HP Q2612A (12A). Our compatible version yields 2,000 ISO pages with the same print quality as the original and at a fraction of the price. See the compatible HP Q2612A (12A) toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The Q2612A (12A) is the toner used by the entire HP LaserJet 1010 family and its multifunction siblings. It doesn't matter whether you have a basic desktop model or an All-in-One unit with scanner and fax: they all share exactly the same cartridge. The differences between models are in the speed and the features (print, scan, copy or fax), not in the consumable. Units marked as MFP or All-in-One are multifunction devices (they print, scan and copy, and some also fax), while the 10xx-series models are single-function printers. If you have any of these models, this is your cartridge:

• HP LaserJet 1010
• HP LaserJet 1012
• HP LaserJet 1015
• HP LaserJet 1018
• HP LaserJet 1020
• HP LaserJet 1022
• HP LaserJet 3015 All-in-One
• HP LaserJet 3020 All-in-One
• HP LaserJet 3030 All-in-One
• HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One
• HP LaserJet 3052 All-in-One
• HP LaserJet 3055 All-in-One

The consumable you need and what it yields

The compatible HP Q2612A (12A) toner is a monochrome laser cartridge that yields 2,000 pages, measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (the international yield standard for mono toner, at 5% coverage per page). It's exactly the same declared yield as the original, so you print the same amount while paying much less.

One advantage of this series: the Q2612A is an all-in-one cartridge that integrates the toner and the drum in the same unit. That means you don't have to buy or replace a drum separately; every time you change the cartridge, you also renew the imaging system. One consumable, zero hassle.

How much it costs you to print

Here's the key point: the same 2,000 ISO page yield, the same print quality, but a cost per page far lower than the branded cartridge. Choosing compatible for a workhorse printer like the LaserJet 1020 or a 3050 multifunction translates into direct savings on every ream you print, without giving up a thing. If you want to see in numbers what you save versus the original, run the figures with our savings calculator. Check the current price on the product page: you'll see it costs a fraction of the original.

Frequently asked questions

Does the compatible Q2612A toner work in my HP LaserJet?

Yes. The Q2612A (12A) is the cartridge used by every model in this guide, from the HP LaserJet 1010 to the M1319f MFP, including the 3015, 3020, 3030, 3050, 3052 and 3055 All-in-One series and the M1005 MFP. It's plug-and-play: you install it just like the original and the printer recognises it with no adjustments.

How many pages does it print?

The actual number of pages depends on how much ink each document covers: if you print a lot of dense text or graphics it will yield somewhat less, and with light documents, somewhat more. Where a product page states a page yield, check its declared test protocol: ISO/IEC 19752.
