Color Laser C2665

The Dell C2665 takes the C2660 color laser platform and gives it four jobs: print, copy, scan and fax at up to 27 pages per minute, fed by a 50-sheet automatic document feeder. NFC tap-to-print lets a phone start a job by touching the machine, and AirPrint and Google Cloud Print support round out one of the most connected multifunction packages in its class. Every one of those functions draws on the same toner set — 593-BBBU black, 593-BBBT cyan, 593-BBBS magenta and 593-BBBR yellow, with high-yield ratings up to 6,000 pages black and 4,000 per color.

Multifunction use reshapes toner consumption in one specific way: copying. A C2665 that spends its afternoons copying color handouts or scanning-and-printing forms uses its color cartridges in bursts that a print-only machine never sees, while fax and document copying lean on black. Watching which function your office leans on predicts which slot empties first better than any schedule.

Toner Cartridges for Dell C2665

Which cartridge should you buy?

The high-yield cartridges on this page are the right default for a machine doing four jobs: up to 6,000 pages from black and 4,000 from each color keeps an MFP — the device an office queues at — out of the toner conversation for long stretches. Buy colors individually as they report low, because copy-heavy and print-heavy offices drain them in different orders, and there is no economy in shelving a color you will not need for a year. A full set is the tidy answer when several colors are low together or when the machine is newly installed and its starter cartridges are finishing. Offices that also run the C2660 or C2660DN get a bonus: this is the same family, so one spare shelf covers every device, and compatible cartridges carry a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The C2665 tracks each cartridge by chip and reports levels per color on its supplies screen, which matters on an MFP: a slot that is fine for printing may be the one a long color-copy run is about to empty, so check levels before starting a big copying job. A gray background haze on output usually means a cartridge is not quite seated or toner dust has settled where the drum cleans — reseat the cartridges and run the cleaning cycle before replacing anything. Faded streaks point the other way, to a genuinely low or settled cartridge; removing it and rocking it gently end to end redistributes the remaining toner and confirms whether replacement is due.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the correct Dell cartridge part numbers for the C2665?

593-BBBU for black, 593-BBBT for cyan, 593-BBBS for magenta and 593-BBBR for yellow. If the machine is new to you, pull any cartridge and compare the number on its label with this list before ordering.

Why do my C2665 prints have a gray background haze?

A haze across the page typically means excess toner is not being cleaned from the drum properly. Run the printer's cleaning cycle and confirm each cartridge is correctly seated; haze that survives both steps on one color only usually ends with that cartridge.

Why is my C2665 printing faded streaks?

Streaky fading in one color almost always means that cartridge is running low or its toner has settled. Remove it, rock it gently to redistribute the powder, and refit it — if the streaks persist, that color is due for replacement.

Does copying use the same toner as printing?

Yes. Print, copy and fax output all come from the same four cartridges, which is why a copying-heavy week can empty a color that ordinary printing barely touches.
