HP LaserJet Enterprise M506dn 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 Enterprise M506dn uses the HP 87A (CF287A, 9,000 pages) black or high-yield HP 87X (CF287X, 18,000 pages) — genuine HP only, from $159.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise M506dn is a fast monochrome laser printer built for workgroups that print in volume and need enterprise-level security. It prints up to 45 pages per minute on letter paper (43 on A4), wakes and prints the first page in as little as 8.5 seconds from sleep, prints two-sided automatically and delivers 1200 x 1200 dpi output for sharp text and fine lines.

The 550-sheet tray and 100-sheet multipurpose tray give 650 sheets standard, expandable with optional 550-sheet feeders, and a 250-sheet output bin handles long runs. A 1.2 GHz processor with 512 MB of memory drives the printer, and Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, two USB host ports and a hardware integration pocket cover connectivity. HP rates it for up to 150,000 pages a month. The M506dn uses HP 87A JetIntelligence toner cartridges, with the high-yield HP 87X for lower cost per page.
