Which HP Printers Use 952 and 952XL Ink?
| Printer | Type |
|---|---|
| OfficeJet Pro 7720 / 7740 | Wide-format (up to 11 × 17) all-in-ones |
| OfficeJet Pro 8210 / 8216 | Single-function printers |
| OfficeJet Pro 8710 / 8715 / 8720 / 8725 / 8730 / 8740 | Office all-in-ones |
What Is the Difference Between HP 952 and 952XL?
| Cartridge | Part number | Approx. yield |
|---|---|---|
| HP 952 Black | F6U15AN | ~1,000 pages |
| HP 952XL Black | F6U19AN | ~2,000 pages |
| HP 952 Cyan / Magenta / Yellow | L0S49AN / L0S52AN / L0S55AN | ~700 pages each |
| HP 952XL Cyan / Magenta / Yellow | L0S61AN / L0S64AN / L0S67AN | ~1,600 pages each |
They are the same size and interchangeable. The XL holds more ink and costs noticeably less per page, which suits these office printers.
Is HP 952 the Same as HP 902 or HP 962?
No. HP 902 fits the OfficeJet Pro 6900 series and HP 962 fits the OfficeJet Pro 9000 series. They look similar but have different chips and won't work in 952 printers. HP 953 and 957 are the international and extra-high-yield siblings of 952.
Will Compatible 952XL Cartridges Work in My OfficeJet Pro?
Usually, yes. Keep in mind that HP firmware updates on the OfficeJet Pro 8700 and 7700 series have, in the past, blocked some non-HP chips. To avoid that:
- Turn off automatic firmware updates in the printer's Embedded Web Server or the HP Smart app.
- Don't enroll the printer in HP+ or Instant Ink if you plan to use non-HP cartridges.
- If a "cartridge problem" message appears, reseat the cartridge and power-cycle the printer. See fixing an "incompatible cartridge" message on HP printers.
How Do I Replace HP 952 Cartridges?
- With the printer on, open the cartridge access door and wait for the carriage to stop.
- Press the front of the cartridge to release it and pull it out.
- Remove the new cartridge from its packaging and slide it into the color-matched slot until it clicks.
- Close the door. There's no alignment needed for a simple cartridge swap.
