HP 202A / 202X Toner: Common Questions

What is the difference between the HP 202A / 202X sizes?

202A prints about 1,400 pages black and 1,300 per color; 202X prints about 3,200 black and 2,500 per color. Both sizes fit the same printers, and HP's cartridges have the drum built in, so there is no separate drum to buy.

Which printers use HP 202A / 202X toner?

HP Color LaserJet Pro M254dw, M254nw, Color LaserJet Pro MFP M280nw, MFP M281cdw, MFP M281fdn, MFP M281fdw. Our Find Ink by Printer page has a guide for each model.

Will compatible HP 202A / 202X toner work in my printer?

Yes. Our cartridges are new, not refilled, and install like an original. Keep automatic firmware updates off so a future HP update can't block third-party toner. If a cartridge from us isn't recognized, contact us and we'll replace or refund it under our 1-year guarantee.

Standard or high-yield: which should I buy?

High-yield (the X or H version) in almost every case. It is the same cartridge body with more toner, so each printed page costs less. Standard-yield only makes sense if you print very little.
