What Toner Does the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw Use?
Last Updated:Shopping for this printer? See all HP 410A & 410X Toner Cartridges – CF410A–CF413X → Ships same day by 4 PM ET, 1-year guarantee.
Quick answer: The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw uses four HP 410A toner cartridges, or the high-yield HP 410X, in black, cyan, yellow and magenta. The same cartridges fit the M477fnw and M477fdn. Castle Ink stocks compatible 410X in every color, including the 410X Black and a 410X four-pack, plus standard 410A Black.
The 410 family was replaced by HP 414A/414X on the newer MFP M479fdw; the two aren't interchangeable. Each 410 cartridge carries its own imaging drum, so there's no separate drum to buy.

What Toner Cartridges Does the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw Take?
| Cartridge | HP part no. | Approx. yield | Castle Ink option |
|---|---|---|---|
| 410A Black | CF410A | ~2,300 pages | Compatible 410A Black |
| 410A Cyan / Yellow / Magenta | CF411A / CF412A / CF413A | ~2,300 pages each | Cyan / Yellow / Magenta |

Yields are HP's ISO/IEC 19798 figures. The printer shipped with a full black and roughly 1,200-page introductory color cartridges, so expect the first color swap sooner than the rating suggests. For a full set, the 410X four-pack is the best value.

Toner cartridges at Castle Ink are newly manufactured compatibles. See compatible vs. remanufactured vs. OEM for what that means. Orders placed by 4 PM ET ship the same day, and U.S. orders over $50 ship free.
Using compatible toner: Compatible cartridges, including ours, don't carry an HP chip. We found no HP statement that the M477 is on its dynamic-security list, but HP has pushed cartridge-blocking firmware to other LaserJets, so we recommend turning off automatic firmware updates before you switch.

How Do I Replace the Toner in the M477fdw?

- Lift the empty cartridge straight up and out.
- Unpack the new cartridge, rock it gently side to side, and remove the orange tape and clips.

What M477fdw owners ask
These are the questions that come up most for this printer on retailer Q&A pages, support forums and owner reviews, answered in our words.
Copying more than one copy gives a 49 service error.
On HP's support forum, HP staff advised updating the firmware and testing with the network cable unplugged. Another owner traced their 49 errors to a specific font after an update. There's no single confirmed fix, so start with a power cycle and a firmware check.
Wireless printing stops after the printer sits idle.
The default power settings shut the M477 off after a long idle period. Change the auto-off timer in the power settings menu and network jobs will wake it.
Which M477 has automatic two-sided printing?
The fdw and fdn do. The fnw has Wi-Fi and fax but no duplexer.
How many pages will the toner in the box print?
The black that ships with it is full size (about 2,300 pages), but the cyan, magenta and yellow are introductory cartridges of about 1,200 pages each.
Does the document feeder scan both sides at once?
Yes. The 50-sheet feeder scans two-sided originals in a single pass.
M477fdw quirks worth knowing
- It prints color as fast as black: up to 28 pages a minute on letter paper.
- It weighs about 51 pounds, and owners regularly warn about its size.
- Paper capacity is 300 sheets (a 250-sheet tray plus a 50-sheet multipurpose tray), expandable to 850 with the optional 550-sheet tray.
- The 4.3-inch touchscreen tilts, and the fdw adds NFC touch-to-print and Wi-Fi Direct.
