HP Color LaserJet Pro M254dw (T6B60A)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello!

I wanted to know if it is true that the HP Color LaserJet Pro M254dw prevents by firmware the usage of non original toner cartridges such as https://www.amazon.de/Schneider-Printware-Reichweite-kompatibel-Laserjet/dp/B07JM4SHWX/

 

My current HP laser jet CP 1215 accepts also non original toner cartridges.

 

Thanks and kind regards,

Herwig

It depends on the firmware version, it's very likely that the newest firmware will prevent usage of non-genuine toners.

 

Also, some aftermarket toner cartridge manufacturers invest more in research and development and they produce toners that are recognised as the original.

 

It's not all in the printer, a major part is in toner itself how is it made, not all non-original toners are made the same, some of them are better quality some lower quality.

Cartridges that conform to required IP laws will work. That means that they must contain a chip that will clearly identify to customers that they are using a non-HP cartridge. Many budget refillers or remanufactures try to circumvent this and customers wind up with cartridges that do not work.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.

Thanks a lot dear Repairtrooper for your reply. Can you give me concrete companies / manufactures names which cartridges will work?

Wish I could help you more but really don't know what aftermarket manufacturers produce toners that will work 100%.

Avoid buying cheapest toners, that probably will not work.
