HP LaserJet 1020 toner cartridges

Q: Can I use a compatible or refilled cartridge?

You can, but yield, quality and level reporting vary. We sell only original HP cartridges.

The HP LaserJet 1020 uses the HP 12A (Q2612A, 2,000 pages) black — genuine HP only, from $69.

The HP LaserJet 1020 is a small personal monochrome laser printer that became a fixture in home offices. It prints up to 14 ppm on A4 paper (15 ppm letter) at 600 x 600 dpi with 1,200 dpi effective output, and its instant-on fuser delivers a first page in under 10 seconds.

A 234 MHz processor with 2 MB of memory runs the host-based print engine, the input tray holds 150 sheets with a 100-sheet output bin, and it connects by USB. HP rates it for up to 5,000 pages a month, so it suits light personal printing rather than a shared office.

It uses the HP 12A black cartridge (2,000 pages), sold as a genuine HP original at GS Toner, singly or in a 2-pack.
