Color Laser C2660DN

The Dell C2660DN is the C2660 built for the network closet side of the office: the same 28-page-per-minute color engine, now with Gigabit Ethernet and automatic duplexing for shared workgroup printing. Administrators get IPsec and SSL protection for data in transit and ColorTrack 2.2 to govern who prints in color. Underneath sits one cartridge family for the whole machine — 593-BBBU black, 593-BBBT cyan, 593-BBBS magenta and 593-BBBR yellow — with high-yield ratings of 6,000 pages for black and 4,000 per color.

A networked printer answers to people who never see it. Users send jobs from three rooms away and discover an empty cartridge only when their pages fail to appear, so the C2660DN's value is partly in how visible its supplies are: levels can be checked from the printer's web interface, and the high-yield set stretches the interval between interventions for whoever manages the fleet.

Toner Cartridges for Dell C2660DN

Which cartridge should you buy?

On a shared machine, plan around black first. Even in a color printer, network queues are mostly documents, and the black cartridge will cycle several times while colors are still mid-life — the black multi-packs on this page exist for precisely that imbalance. Colors are best bought singly as each one reports low, since ColorTrack data usually shows one or two colors doing most of the chromatic work. The full set options, up to the eight-cartridge format, suit administrators stocking a new installation or standardizing spares across several C2660-family machines at once; the cartridges inside are identical to the singles either way. Compatible cartridges here are covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

To read the C2660DN's supply status without walking to the machine, open its web interface or driver utility, or use the control panel's supplies screen — each cartridge reports separately, so you can see exactly which color needs attention before ordering. If the printer ever reports a fitted cartridge as unsupported, check the part number against the family list first, because a wrong-number unit is the most common cause; reseating the cartridge and a power cycle settle the rest. Keep the spare shelf boring: sealed boxes, stored flat, one black always in reserve, and reorder when a slot drops low rather than when it hits empty and a user's job is waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which replacement toner is compatible with the Dell C2660DN?

One family covers the machine: 593-BBBU black, 593-BBBT cyan, 593-BBBS magenta and 593-BBBR yellow. Match the number on your old cartridge to the color you are replacing and the fit is assured.

How do I check toner levels on the C2660DN remotely?

Because the DN is a networked model, its embedded web interface and the driver utility both report per-cartridge levels, as does the control panel's supplies screen. Administrators can therefore audit toner across the office without visiting the printer.

My C2660DN does not recognize the new cartridge. What do I do?

Verify the part number is one of the four family numbers, then reseat the cartridge so its chip meets the reader squarely. Restarting the printer after reseating clears the great majority of recognition errors.

Can the C2660DN and C2665 share a toner shelf?

Yes — the multifunction C2665 models run on this same cartridge family, so one stock of spares covers both the printer and the MFP fleet, which simplifies life for whoever orders supplies.
