HP LaserJet Enterprise M506n 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 M506n uses the HP 87A (CF287A, 9,000 pages) black or high-yield HP 87X (CF287X, 18,000 pages) — genuine HP only, from $159.

Why use genuine HP toner

Original HP cartridges are built and tested for the HP LaserJet Enterprise M506n: the chip reports toner levels correctly, print quality and page yield match HP's ratings, and your printer warranty is not affected. Every cartridge we sell is factory-sealed original HP — never refilled, never compatible.
