Browse the available products and check compatibility, declared yield and price on each product page.

What it is and which printers it works with

This is a compatible cartridge with an integrated chip, ready to use with no prior handling. It is suitable for exactly these models:

• HP LaserJet M211d
• HP LaserJet M211dw
• HP LaserJet MFP M236dw
• HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn
• HP LaserJet MFP M236sdw

If your printer does not appear in this list, do not install it: the physical format and the chip are designed specifically for this series. You can see the full details on the compatible HP 142A toner page.

How to install it and what to do if the "cartridge is not recognised"

Browse the available products and check compatibility, declared yield and price on each product page.

• Open the front cover and remove the used cartridge.
• Take the new toner out of its packaging and remove the protective seal by pulling the tab.
• Gently shake it horizontally to distribute the toner evenly.
• Insert it until it clicks into place and close the cover.

If a warning such as "non-genuine HP cartridge" or "not recognised" appears, in most cases it is enough to switch the printer off and on again, or to remove and reinsert the cartridge so that the chip is read again. This type of message is usually related to HP firmware updates that block cartridges; it is worth checking your device's automatic update settings before installing a new consumable. Remember, too, that using compatible toner does not void your legal guarantee in Spain.

Yield and savings compared with the original

With the same 950-page declared yield as the reference cartridge, the difference lies in the cost per page. The compatible toner significantly reduces the cost of each print while maintaining a stable black density throughout the entire life of the cartridge. If you want to work out what this means in your particular case, we explain it in our article on the real cost of printing, and we compare both options page by page in original vs compatible.
