Review: Great printing, easily installable, and the ink lasts a long time - This product is an official licensed HP printer cartridge that works with various HP printers. It is used in laser jet printers and the set up is very easy. I like that it's an official HP printer as it allows my warranty on the printer itself to continue to be effective. Pricing is better than I was able to get at retail stores.
