Well, it clogged up the works, and I could not fix it. I had to throw the printer out! So go with the manufacturer's ink, even if it is expensive. It's cheaper than a new printer! For HP LaserJets: I think, altho I'm not sure, that off-brand toners will not work in an HP machine. I think they code their cartridges.
