Guide refreshed 16 October 2026. This page’s model list is retained from the original 2014 article as a historical reference, not a current compatibility or stock guarantee.
HP 504A is a toner family associated with colour laser printers. The original article referenced CE250A black, CE251 cyan, CE252 yellow and CE253 magenta. Check the complete code on your cartridge, including the letter suffix, and confirm the exact printer model before ordering. Colour name or family alone is not enough to establish a match.
Before choosing a replacement
- Record your printer’s full model name and any suffix, for example CM or CP series details.
- Read the complete cartridge code from the label or the printer’s supply information.
- Check the current product listing for the exact printer and cartridge code, and whether the option is original or compatible.
- Ask about current price, stock, delivery and any refill or remanufacturing service before making arrangements.
