Rated 5 out of 5 by Fayham from Genuine HP so much better than the imitation So the last time we needed a laser cartridge (2017) my husband thought the hp version was too expensive so he purchased 2 knockoffs (my fault, I hate running out of stuff, I like to have one on the shelf so I'm not caught in a bind). The printer knew immediately it wasn't genuine. The first one printed fine, but didn't last as long. The printer complained for more than like a year before it actually needed to be replaced. I think we got half the prints that we normally would. Put the 2nd one in. Again the printer let us know it wasn't the real deal. The prints were fine for 6 maybe 9 months, but the printer started complaining about low toner at like 4 months. We kept printing on it for like a year longer. Eventually the prints just kept getting darker, like the entire sheet was clouded over. The print was still legible, but no good for anything like a resume. I wasn't sure if it was the printer (it's more than 10 years old) or the cartridge, so I only bought 1 cartridge. Installed it and I knew it was the crappy knock off. I'm going to order another back up cartridge from HP. No more poor "bargain" cartridges for us.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AmericanGirl from the real deal The HP 78A black original laser Jet Toner cartridge , being an HP product specifically for the HP laser printer, is a win-win. It installs w/o any set-up/ activation issues; and is a reliable, top quality, 'plug n play' product. I appreciate that HP recycles the old cartridges, even supplying the box and label for UPS return of old cartridge. The consistently excellent quality and service of HP is why I remain a very loyal customer and highly recommend HP products.

Rated 1 out of 5 by wbwright79 from Horrible. My HP1606dn doesn't even use it 1. Bought an aftermarket toner, which failed HP protection. Failed 2. Bought a toner from a 2nd vendor. Also failed HP toner protection. Fail 3. Bought from a 3rd aftermarket vendor. HP toner protection wouldn't use that one either. 4. Caved in. Paid 87.00 for a genuine HP toner cartridge from HP. Printer won't even use the toner cartridge. Now in the process of removing printer, drivers, printer devices and software from all computers in the household. Just to try to re-install all over again, and get my formerly dependable, now useless HP1606dn to function again. HP has been a nightmare. They used to be an industry leader. Sad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HPanonymois from Simply works I have stuck with HP toner for my laser jet printers rather than generic cartridges. Although more expensive, the extra dollars gives me peace of mind. I have low print volumes and order a replacement as soon as I put in my standby cartridge. In other words I always have a replacement cartridge by my printer so there is no time I’m without toner. Ordering was easy from the HP site and delivery wast fast.

Rated 5 out of 5 by billyhairg from Super Fast and Easy It came in the mail really quickly, was easy to install and it did the job it was suppose to do really fast. It only printed about 1,400 pages, instead of what it said it could, but it’s a great cartridge that I will be getting again. Highly Recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NKMPro from Very consistent quality I buy this for my HPLJ Pro P1606dn printer. While we can by cheaper non HP brands, the original OEM HP CE278A lasts at least 2 years for me and provides very consistent quality. Therefore I always buy the HP brand cartridge for both my Laser Jet and Office Jet printers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AJ 47 from Example: Great features! I bought the toner cartridges (2) over a month ago and they are working very well, installation was ease. The order process is very poor and confusing. Would recommend that the web site for HP is adjusted to make user friendly. It took me longer to order the cartridges then installing the cartridges.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Conl from Not as good as previous toner While this toner cartridge delivers the stated number of copies, and even sometimes more, I have found that the ink does not stay on certain kinds of papers. It will not stay on standard paper envelopes or on certain types of labels. I've had several HP laserjet printers and never had this issue with the toner until I purchased a printer that uses this toner. If I want to print addresses on envelopes, I have to use a different printer or hand write them. Not good. On several envelopes that I printed using this toner, the ink "fell" or was "wiped" off before I could even put them in the mail. I complained to HP but never heard back. Hopefully they will rectify this problem in the future.
