What toner does the HP LaserJet Pro M501n need, plus 8 compatible models

Looking for toner for your HP LaserJet Pro M501, your Enterprise M506 or your Enterprise MFP M527? The cartridge you need is the HP CF287A (87A). Our compatible version yields 9,000 pages with the same print quality as the original, and costs a fraction of its price. See the compatible CF287A toner and check the current price.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The CF287A (87A) is the black toner cartridge fitted at the factory by this whole family of HP LaserJet printers, both the single-function Pro and the Enterprise and their multifunction machines (MFP). If your machine is any of these 9 models, this is your toner:

• HP LaserJet Pro M501n
• HP LaserJet Pro M501dn
• HP LaserJet Enterprise M506n
• HP LaserJet Enterprise M506dn
• HP LaserJet Enterprise M506x
• HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527c
• HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527dn
• HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527f
• HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M527z

The letters of the name only indicate the machine's equipment, they don't change the consumable: the n adds a network connection (Ethernet), the d indicates automatic double-sided printing (duplex), the x usually incorporates higher-capacity trays, and the MFP or Flow MFP are multifunction machines that also scan and copy (the c, f and z mark the level of finishing and fax). On all of them the toner is exactly the same: the CF287A. If you're not clear on your exact model, use our printer finder.

The consumable you need and what it yields

For this whole range you only need one cartridge, the compatible HP CF287A (87A) toner with premium chip. It yields 9,000 pages measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (the yield standard for monochrome toner, calculated at 5% coverage), the same reference the original manufacturer declares. It's black toner, not ink: they are laser printers, so the consumable is a toner cartridge that already integrates its own drum, with no additional parts to buy separately.

Our cartridge incorporates a premium chip, so the printer recognises it and shows the toner level normally. If you want to dig deeper into technical details and installation tips, you have the complete guide to the compatible CF287A.

How much printing costs you

Here is the real advantage of the compatible: same yield of 9,000 ISO pages, same print quality, for a fraction of the price of the original cartridge. In a fleet of Enterprise M506 or M527 printers, where the print volume is high, the saving per page shows month after month without giving up anything. Instead of giving you a figure that may become outdated, we let you calculate your specific case: use our savings calculator to see how much you recover compared to the original based on the pages you print. And if you still have doubts about the reliability of the compatible, we explain it here: are compatible cartridges reliable?
