Frequently Asked Questions

Which code am I looking for when the yellow runs out?

W2022A — the yellow member of the 414A family, and the code the yellow slot calls for across the platform, on machines like the Color Pro M479fdw included. If the empty cartridge or the printer's supplies page says W2022A, this box is its replacement; no other code in the family fits that slot.

Why did the yellow vanish without any obvious warning signs?

Yellow is the quietest color in the set. A page can lose most of its yellow and still look plausible, because yellow contributes lightness and warmth rather than edges. The usual first clue is indirect: greens drift toward blue and highlights lose their glow as the W2022A fades.

How many pages does one cartridge print?

About 2,100 pages at 5% coverage. Full-color pages with large pale backgrounds — certificates, charts with washed fills, presentation slides — spend yellow steadily without ever looking 'colorful', which is why its consumption surprises people.

Our greens have turned blue. Is that really a yellow problem?

Yes. Green is printed from cyan and yellow together; take the yellow away and the cyan stands alone, so greens and teals slide blue. Restoring the W2022A brings the whole green family back in one step.

When the low alert appears, can the cartridge still be used?

It can. The alert arrives while useful life remains, and the sensible course is to order the replacement then and fit it when output — greens especially — visibly shifts. That uses the cartridge fully without gambling on a big color job.

How is this cartridge covered after I buy it?

With a 1-year warranty and free returns within the first year, as laid out on our shipping & returns page. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA, and CA, and support is available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Yellow Cartridge

Listed at $90.65 among our HP 414A cartridges, the W2022A yellow is the family member nobody thinks about until the greens go wrong. Its job in every color page is structural rather than decorative, which is precisely why its absence distorts colors that do not appear to contain yellow at all. Check the badge on your printer against this list: Color LaserJet Enterprise M455dn, Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f, Color LaserJet Pro M479fdw, and Color LaserJet Pro MFP M454dw. If it appears there, this is the family its supplies page will name.

Because the fade is so easy to misread as a printer fault, the supplies page is the referee: it names W2022A, shows its level, and settles in seconds whether the blue-green printouts are a cartridge problem or something else. Its partners on the shelf are 414A black cartridge (W2020A), 414A cyan cartridge (W2021A) and 414A magenta cartridge (W2023A) and the 414A four-color set for a full-machine restock. The high-capacity counterpart for this position is the high-yield 414X yellow cartridge (W2022X), built for busier machines.
