Compatible HP 307A CE740A toner for the Color LaserJet CP5225: technical guide

HP 307A, part number CE740A, is a black toner cartridge for certain HP Color LaserJet Professional printers, including the CP5225n and CP5225dn. HP quotes approximately 7,000 pages for its original cartridge. That figure does not establish the yield of every compatible version. Check your exact printer model and the specific seller listing before ordering a replacement.

What it is and which printers it works with

CE740A identifies the original black HP 307A cartridge for the CP5225 series. The following list helps identify the printer family, but it does not by itself certify the fit of every third-party replacement. Check the listing for the specific product.

• HP Color LaserJet CP5225
• HP Color LaserJet CP5225dn
• HP Color LaserJet CP5225n

HP identifies CE740A as its original black 307A cartridge for the CP5225 family. The Startoner listing names CP5225, CP5225n and CP5225dn for its compatible product with colour variants. That is the seller’s list, not HP certification of each variant. Compare your complete model, colour and cartridge code before ordering.

How to install it and what to do if it "doesn't recognise the cartridge"

Follow the replacement instructions for your printer model and the directions supplied with the cartridge you choose. Remove the depleted supply, take off only the specified protective pieces, and insert the replacement without forcing it. If a part does not fit, stop and check the reference again before closing the cover.

If an alert appears after replacement, note its exact wording and check that the cartridge is seated as the printer manual describes. An alert alone does not identify the cause or establish a firmware block. If it persists, contact the seller with your printer model and the product reference.

• Restart the printer and check whether the same alert appears again.

Stated yield and cost per page

Approximately 7,000 pages is HP’s published yield for its original 307A CE740A cartridge, not a verified yield for all compatible cartridges. Actual output also changes with page content. For a Startoner product, rely on the yield stated on its own listing and ask for the test method if it is unclear. The Startoner listing groups black, three colours and a pack; its general page claim does not validate each variant separately.
