Cross-reference: HP Q2612A, the 12A standard-yield toner cartridge (2,000 pages), is the same cartridge Canon sells as Canon Cartridge 104 (0263B001AA, also sold as FX-9 and FX-10) for the Canon FAXPHONE L90 and L120 and the imageCLASS D420, D480, MF4150, MF4270dn, MF4350d, MF4370dn and MF4690 printers. Canon rates Cartridge 104 at 2,000 pages (ISO/IEC standard).
Frequently Asked Questions
The name says 12A — which cartridge do I actually receive?
You receive the Q2612A black cartridge. 12A is the family shorthand this printer range is known by, and Q2612A is the exact order code for the cartridge in it — the code printed in the listing's title and stamped on the cartridge itself. When in doubt, match the code.
What is in the box?
One Q2612A black cartridge, sealed and ready to install, at $28.15. Strip the protective tape as the packaging shows, and it goes straight into the printer.
How many pages is it rated for?
2,000 pages at ordinary document coverage. Pages packed with graphics draw the toner down faster and light text pages slower, so use the rating as the planning figure and expect real life to land either side of it depending on what your printer actually produces.
Which printers does the 12A family cover?
A long-lived range of small LaserJets — the 1010 through 1022 desktop models, the 3015 to 3055 all-in-ones, and the M1005 and M1319 multifunction machines among them. If your current cartridge is a Q2612A, this is its replacement whatever badge the printer wears.
Is fitting it a job for a technician?
No — it is designed to be a user job that takes a couple of minutes: open the printer's top cover, lift the old cartridge out by its handle, rock the new one gently, remove its sealing strip, and slide it in until it seats. Print a test page and you are done.
What if I am not happy with how it prints?
Start with the simple things: reseat the cartridge, rock it gently, and confirm the sealing strip came fully out. If the output is still not right, our support team will help — and the cartridge carries the cover set out below.
About This 12A (Q2612A) Cartridge
Listings named by the family, like this one, exist because most owners know their printer takes a "12A" long before they ever read the full code. Behind the shorthand sits the same Q2612A cartridge that feeds machines like the LaserJet 3050Z all-in-one: one black cartridge, a 2,000-page rating, and a $28.15 price for the single unit.
It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and ships from the nearest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses — the shipping & returns page has the delivery details. Our team is available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST, and the full range for this family is catalogued under HP.
