What's in the Box
- 1 × HP 212A Cyan (W2121A) compatible toner cartridge — about 4,500 pages
Page yields are the manufacturer's rating for the matching original cartridge, measured at roughly 5% page coverage under ISO/IEC 19752 or 19798 testing. Your results will vary with what you print.
Firmware note: keep automatic firmware updates off. HP updates can block non-HP chips and show a "Supply Problem" or "Non-HP chip detected" message.

- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M554dn
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M555dn / M555x
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M578dn / M578f / M578c
Don't mix these up: HP 212A (standard) and 212X (high yield) fit the Color LaserJet Enterprise M554, M555 and M578. They do not fit the Color LaserJet Pro 4201/4301, which take HP 210.

Chips, Printer Messages & Installation
Installing: open the printer's toner door, pull out the empty cartridge by its handle, then rock the new cartridge gently side to side five or six times to spread the toner. Remove the orange shipping lock and pull the sealing tape straight out, then slide the cartridge in until it seats and close the door.
Chip and supply messages: this compatible cartridge carries its own chip. The printer may show a "non-HP" or "used supply" notice; press OK to continue. If the cartridge isn't recognized, remove it, check that all packing material is off and reseat it firmly. Keeping automatic firmware updates off avoids most chip problems.
Streaks or faint print: rock the cartridge again to redistribute toner and print a cleaning page from the printer menu. See laser printer streaks and lines.

Compatible vs. Remanufactured vs. Original
Original (OEM) toner is new from the printer brand and costs the most. Compatible toner, like this cartridge, is newly manufactured by a third party to the original's size, chip and page-yield specifications, so it drops into the same slot at a much lower price. Remanufactured toner is an emptied original cartridge that has been rebuilt and refilled. Castle Ink sells compatible (newly manufactured) toner and remanufactured inkjet cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages does the HP 212A cyan print?
About 4,500 pages, based on HP's rating for the original W2121A at roughly 5% coverage.
Does it fit the Color LaserJet Pro 4301?
No. The 4201 and 4301 take HP 210 toner.
Can I replace one color at a time?
Yes. Each color is a separate cartridge, so replace only the one that is empty.
Will this void my printer warranty?
No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.
How long can I store it?
Sealed toner keeps for about two years at room temperature. Keep it in its bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, and store it flat.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from Long Island, NY, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
