An old “popular cartridges” list cannot confirm what is in stock today or prove that a cartridge fits every printer in a product family. Use the printer’s full model and the code on the cartridge you are replacing to check the match.
Find the information that identifies your cartridge
- Read the complete printer model. Check the label on the printer or its display. Include every letter, number and suffix.
- Copy the cartridge code. Use the reference printed on the cartridge or packaging. Do not rely on colour, appearance or a shortened printer-family name.
- Check the printer’s message. A toner-low alert, drum-unit warning or maintenance message may refer to different parts. Match the message and part name to the printer manual.
- Confirm the option before ordering. Ask about the exact code, product type, current price, availability and delivery options.
Original, compatible and remanufactured
Original cartridges are made by the printer manufacturer. Compatible cartridges are made by another supplier for specified printer models. Remanufactured cartridges use a previously used cartridge that has been inspected and rebuilt. Availability and product terms vary by code, so compare the exact item rather than assuming one option exists across an entire brand or model range.
Historical model and cartridge examples from older versions of this page have been removed: they were not a current sales ranking or a verified compatibility chart.
