Rated 2 out of 5 by Sherkahn from New cartridge didn’t work. Three to five day delivery took five days. That was kinda expected. The cartridge did not work. Followed all the cleaning advice. Did all the steps. Kept getting “ There is a fault with one or more of your cartridges “ error screens. Looking at the cartridge. I noticed that the circuitry was not as, um…substantial as the previous cartridge. Perhaps it was a cost-cutting move in manufacturing. No matter. It didn’t work. Sent it back for a replacement. Not expecting anything better, but maybe it was just that particular cartridge. We’ll see….

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not So Good HP has discontinued making/supplying the cartridge that I need for my printer. #56 which is what I ordered online was supposed to work on my 7525 printer. Will not fit and the dog ate it so I can’t even return it. Thanks for nothing

Rated 3 out of 5 by Diana HP owner from Not working in my printer HP's website does not have #54 available. They paired #56 with a tri color cartridge that fits my printer, but 56 does not work on my F4180. Since I opened it, HP won't take it back. As I'm not able to use, I can't rate.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SharleighL from Didn’t Fit I bought this black ink refill according to the guidance of HP and it didn’t fit my printer. I’m out $ and still don’t have an ink refill, and therefore can’t use my printer. I’m angry!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by MJTS from Love it But I have really enjoyed the speed of this computer and general use. However, I have noticed occasional slowness because I can not do a direct line hookup with my router. No one told me about this when I ordered the computer and it is definitely a weakness that manifests itself at different times. The upload and download drops significantly on occasion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Flower girl from Tried and true! I have had a very reliable HP printer for years. The 56 fits my approximately 15 year old ink jet printer that has outlasted two other HP ink jet printers. While I much appreciate my oldest printer and its newest replacement ink cartridge I do not appreciate HP and its long time partner American Airlines Advantage program, I am very disappointed that I no longer can accumulate or more importantly keep my hard earned airlines miles active, especially in these little to no travel covid times. Please restore miles with ink cartridge purchases and avoid deceptive advertising with your airline partner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Happy009 from Great little Ink Cartridge ! Great ink cartridge for my my current HP All In One Printer, Copier Fax ! I purchased the All in One like this in 2005, which failed due to no fault of its own after several years. Since they were no longer being produced at that time I found a used one on E-Bay which didn't last very long. I then found a new one on line in its original sealed box for 3x the original price and its worth every single penny ! Why HP did away with this great little printer is a mystery to me. The ink is good and lasts for many copies-the printers were fast and trouble free !
