Frequently Asked Questions

We order by part number — is 0279B003AA the same cartridge as the GPR-17?

Yes. 0279B003AA is Canon's part number for the GPR-17 black toner cartridge, and this listing is organized around that number because production copy rooms order by the code on the cartridge coming out of the machine, not by the marketing name. If the cartridge you pulled reads GPR-17 or 0279B003AA, this is the same supply item — one compatible black cartridge rated at 45,000 pages.

What does 45,000 pages look like on a meter reading?

On a production machine copying and printing 10,000 pages a month, one GPR-17 (0279B003AA) covers roughly four and a half months between changes; at 15,000 pages a month it is about three. The 45,000 figure is rated at the standard 5% coverage test page, so heavy solid fills and dense forms will shorten the real interval, while plain text runs stretch it. Either way, toner stops being a weekly conversation on a machine in this class.

What is the toner cost per page on a single cartridge?

At $88.00 for 45,000 rated pages, the toner works out to roughly 0.20 cents per page. That is cartridge cost only — paper, service and the machine itself sit outside it — but it is the figure cost-per-copy arrangements are built on, and at this yield class it stays low even when you buy one cartridge at a time instead of in packs.

Which machines does this cartridge serve?

The GPR-17 (0279B003AA) is built for Canon's imageRUNNER 5070, imageRUNNER 5570 and imageRUNNER 6570 production copiers. It is not interchangeable with the GPR-24 family, which serves a different set of machines — if the cartridge coming out of your device reads GPR-24 or part number 1872B003AA, you need that listing instead. When in doubt, the part number on the old cartridge is the deciding evidence.

Output is uneven partway through the cartridge — what should we check first?

On a high-volume copier, uneven density partway through a cartridge usually means the remaining toner has settled. Remove the cartridge, hold it level and rock it gently end to end several times to redistribute the toner, then reinstall and run test copies. If density evens out, the cartridge has life left. If the fault stays identical with a known-good cartridge installed, the issue is in the machine and belongs with a technician.
