HP Q5949X Black Toner Cartridge (HP LaserJet 1320) – Customer Reviews

2 Cents per page.

I received the correct Q5949X cartridge.
My calculations for cost per page is only 2 cents per page, which is contrary to another reviewer's claim of 12 cents per page.
$120.00 divided by 6000 pages equals 2 cents per page.

Make sure you buy/get the 49X. Avoid the 49A, as it's too high priced*

I love my hp1320, but had a rude awakening with toner cartridges.

Save some bucks and get only the 49X.
The "X" means EXTRA pages printed and EXTRA money in your pocket.

I believe the HP1320 printers all ship with a 49A as a starter
cartridge.

The 49A cartridge gives you about 2,500 pages of print.

The 49X gives you about 6,000 page of print, for ONLY a few dollars more in price!

Based on today's prices,
The 49A costs about 33.5 cents per page printed.

The 49X costs about 12 cents per page printed.

Why would anyone buy the 49A cartridge and pay almost 3X as much per page of print?

Where I work, I made sure our supply folks order ONLY the 49X cartridges.


If you order online, make sure you are getting the 49X.
DON'T let anyone switch it for the lowly 49A.
IMHO, the 49A should not even exist.

Don't order from Discount Office Supplies

They sent the wrong product and refused to accept the package back or send the correct item...

You will not receive what you ordered!

If you order this item, you will receive the lower-capacity Q5949A. I ordered it through Tiger Direct and, while they allowed me to return it, they made me pay for shipping.

Switched Product

Discount Office Supplies sent me the 2500-page yield 49A cartridge instead of the 6000-page yield 49X cartridge that I had ordered.Seems to be a pattern with them.Don't order from them!

Fortunately Amazon's A-to-Z policy enabled me to get a full refund,including shipping charges.
