Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridge belongs on the M552DN's supply list?

The black cartridge is the CF360X, HP's 508X black, rated at 12,500 pages and sold here as a single for $54.43. The M552DN's supply list names it by that part number. If the cartridge you removed carries the CF360X stamp, this listing is its direct replacement — no conversion chart or cross-reference needed.

How long does 12,500 pages last a shared department printer?

It depends on the department's rhythm. A networked M552DN serving a whole team's letters, reports and handouts can move through a few thousand pages in a busy month, so one CF360X is realistically a season of black rather than a year of it. The rating gives you the yardstick; your monthly page count tells you the reorder date.

We print two-sided almost exclusively. Does duplex need a different cartridge?

No. Duplexing is a paper-path function — the sheet simply passes through the machine twice. The same CF360X lays toner on both sides, and a two-sided page counts against the cartridge's life the same way two single-sided pages do. There is no separate duplex cartridge to stock.

Printouts from the M552DN look light even though no warning shows. What gives?

Toner gauges are estimates, and output usually tells the truth first. When solid black areas turn gray and fine text loses its edge, the cartridge is nearly spent regardless of what the gauge claims. A fresh CF360X restores the density; if a new cartridge does not, the machine itself deserves a look.

When should we reorder so the department never waits?

Reorder when the printer first reports low toner, not when it stops. The remaining toner typically covers days of normal work, which is enough time for a replacement to arrive from the same supply family that serves the Color LaserJet M533X and the rest of the Enterprise line. Better still, keep one sealed spare in the supply cabinet and reorder when the spare goes in.

What coverage and shipping come with this cartridge?

It carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, ships from our IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses, and our support team is on hand Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. The complete policy is on our shipping and returns page.

About This CF360X Black Cartridge for the Color LaserJet M552DN

A department printer has one unforgivable sin: stopping. This compatible CF360X keeps the M552DN's black slot fed with a 12,500-page cartridge at $54.43, sized for the steady two-sided document traffic a networked workgroup machine handles all day. It belongs to the HP 508X family, so one part number covers the black slot here and across the Enterprise fleet — simpler stocking, fewer wrong orders, no mid-week scrambles.
