With my HP Laserjet Pro MFP M28w printer, bought in June 2018, the toner consumption is very high right from the start. In the meantime I changed the toner 3 times, each time after printing only about 300 pages. According to HP, it should be enough for at least 800 pages.
Important: I only print text pages, everything in black and white.

Thank you for your response. I understand that the yield for HP black and white printers is determined using the ISO / IEC 19752 test method. It can vary greatly from the results I have achieved. In my case, however, I only achieve 37.5% of the yield determined using the test method. Therefore, I ask myself how I can change the determinants on the printer to optimize the toner consumption. Can you also give me a tip? Thanks in advance.

Ensure you are not printing in Best Mode and print in Draft Mode and less ink will be used

Thank you for the informations. I proceeded as described there. There is no "Advanced" button for me under the tabs shown (screenshot 3 - 5). However, there is a separate "Advanced" tab. However, I cannot change anything there (see screenshot 2). Also under the heading "Adjust printer" I have not found a way to change the print quality.
Therefore, the question still arises where can I change the print quality of my printer?

Hi there,
I did everything like this (see screenshot 1 - 3). In the screenshot 4 you can see the standard settings. The print settings you can see are called "everyday printing - envelope - labels - etc. There I can only change the paper type, the double-sided printing and the pages per sheet. Not the printing resolution dpi and therefore the toner consumption. That is also the case on the other tabs (screenshot 5 - 7) Unfortunately, this procedure does not lead to the desired result.
