Print cartridge life expectancy

The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require. An HP color print cartridge lasts an average of 8,000 pages and an HP black print cartridge lasts an average of 9,000 pages when printing on letter or A4-size paper at 5 percent coverage for each print cartridge. Usage conditions and print patterns may cause actual results to vary.

At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the toner level, as described below.
