Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The cartridge does

not need to be replaced now.

may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The

Once an HP cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has

ended.
