Frequently Asked Questions

Which code is the M255dw's yellow cartridge?

W2112A — yellow in the 206A family, marked by the '2'. The Color LaserJet Pro M255dw runs four independent cartridges, and yellow is the channel whose empty state disguises itself as a general colour failure rather than announcing itself.

Greens from the M255dw have turned blue and pages look cold. Is yellow really empty?

That is exactly what empty yellow looks like. Yellow partners cyan in every green and warms every neutral; remove it and greens collapse to blue while whites and creams pick up a cold cast. Resist ordering cyan — the supplies status page will show yellow at the bottom, and this W2112A is the fix.

What page life is it rated for?

1,250 pages at standard 5% coverage. On the M255dw, yellow's consumption follows the work: highlighted documents, warm-toned graphics and food or property photography all draw on it, so a colour-active office can empty yellow alongside the other channels despite never printing 'a yellow page'.

Can I change yellow mid-run of a big job?

Yes — pause, swap the cartridge, resume. The change takes about two minutes and the printer recalibrates as it restarts. Pages printed after the swap will show the corrected colour immediately, which is also how you confirm the diagnosis was right.

What protection comes with it?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, at a price of $69.51. Bad colour, leaks or a rejected cartridge are covered by replacement or refund. Orders ship from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

Where should I keep a spare for a shared M255dw?

Sealed, flat, and where the team can find it — ideally beside the printer, because yellow's failure mode wastes other people's print runs before anyone names the cause. Delivery information for the next spare is on the shipping and returns page.

About This M255dw Yellow Cartridge

This W2112A yellow cartridge is the answer to an HP M255dw that has started printing everything slightly cold: 1,250 rated pages at $69.51, fitted alone in two minutes. When the greens go blue and the warmth drains out of the page, yellow is the channel to replace — and this is it.

One cartridge covers the set: Color Pro MFP M283fdw, Color Pro MFP M283cdw, Color Pro MFP M282nw, Color Pro MFP M2255nw, Color Pro MFP M283fdn and Color Pro M255dw all draw from the same design. The rest of the set is just as direct: the black W2110A, the cyan W2111A and the magenta W2113A beside this one, the high-yield W2112X when the yield class needs to change, and the 206A four-colour set for a full refresh.
