I do not think that different brands can be used on different printers. You must have the correct brand and the correct cartridge for you printer that you are wanting to put new cartridges in.

I really don't believe that you can. Each printer uses different sizes and shapes of printer ink cartridges. So I honestly really wouldn't even try it unless you want to risk wasting that money.

yes you can and it is actually cheaper at some places to buy a new one instead of refilling an old one.

When replacing my printer cartridges, do I have to purchase one that's the same brand as the printer?

It is usually the best idea for your printer's longevity to purchase a cartridge that is the same brand as your printer. This is because the printer and cartridge are specifically designed for each other by the manufacturer. Even though other cartridges may fit and claim to do the same thing, the quality and speed of your printouts may be jeopardized. Usually the price difference between a brand-name and generic cartridge is only a few dollars. Be wise and spend a bit more to ensure the quality of your printouts and life of your printer.

How do you replace ce285a cartridge on hp laserjet p1102w?

It should be a fairly simple process of replacing the CE285a cartridge. Simply open the door which is on the top of the printer, this give you access to the cartridge. The cartridge should have a small handle on the front of it which you can pull and release the cartridge from the printer. Its then a case of installing the new cartridge which should slide in the same way you took the old one out, this type of printer usually has a cut out on either side which guides the cartridge in, then close the lid. It should close smoothly without any force required, if you find its not closing properly then check that the cartridge is sitting in right.


How do you change the ink cartridge in a Dell 1700 laser printer?

You can try this one... First you need to remove the existing ink cartridge out of the printer. You can do this by pulling its handle or top carefully towards you. Then, get the new cartridge from its pack. Shake it sideways, remove the tape found in its bottom and put it in the printer, on the same location where you removed the used one. Print a test page to see if its working.


Are Dell ink cartridges reliable and how long do they last?

All cartridges are pretty much the same, it's just that some printers require different model number of the cartridge and more or less cartridges. I recommend that you get a printer that has a black and one multi-color cartridge.

Replacing an Empty Printer Toner Cartridge?

When purchasing a replacement printer toner cartridge, there are two primary options.Original Equipment Manufacturer Cartridge (OEM)- The same manufacturer that made the printer makes an OEM. OEMs are almost always the most expensive option, but having the major brand name on it carries piece of mind for some.Compatible/Recycled Cartridge- Compatible and recycled toner cartridges are sold under a generic brand name, but function the same as an OEM. The cartridges are still subject to strict quality production standards, but can found for as much as half the price of an OEM.
