Dell (332-0399, 332-0400, 332-0401, 332-0402)

Dell's C1660 and C1660w are compact color lasers built for a desk corner, and their supply list is equally compact: black 332-0399, cyan 332-0400, magenta 332-0401 and yellow 332-0402. Alongside the four singles, this page carries the black cartridge in money-saving 3-pack and 5-pack listings plus three four-color sets — a shelf arranged around the way these little printers are actually used, which is mostly black text with color in supporting roles.

Home offices and small workspaces are the natural habitat here. A C1660 prints the invoices, the school projects and the occasional color flyer, and because each cartridge depletes on its own schedule, owners buy toner in the same proportions the printer consumes it — heavy on black, light on color.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Follow the printer's appetite. For everyday mixed printing, the single 332-0399 black is the reorder you will make most, and stepping up to the 3-pack or 5-pack simply banks that same cartridge at a better per-unit price if your volume is steady. Colors are the opposite case: buy 332-0400, 332-0401 and 332-0402 one at a time, only when the printer names the empty one, because a color you stock too early can sit for a year in a light-use home office. Choose a four-color set when you are setting up a printer or when several cartridges are clearly finishing together.

Chip, toner and everyday use

One quiet toner thief on compact color lasers is the paper-type setting: telling the printer you are using heavy or glossy stock when plain paper is loaded makes it lay down toner for a surface that is not there. Match the driver setting to the paper actually in the tray and cartridges last the way they should. When a new cartridge goes in, the chip handshake is automatic; if the level does not reset, take the cartridge out and reseat it once, firmly, before suspecting the cartridge itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which code goes with which color on the C1660?

Black is 332-0399, cyan is 332-0400, magenta is 332-0401 and yellow is 332-0402. The slots inside the printer are color-coded to match, and the label on each cartridge repeats its color in words.

Is there a set order for replacing these cartridges?

No fixed sequence exists. Each of the four depletes independently, so you replace whichever one the printer flags. In practice black usually goes first, then whichever color dominates your documents — a household printing lots of blue-heavy schoolwork will see cyan follow.

Do the black 3-pack and 5-pack fit the C1660w as well?

Yes. The C1660 and C1660w draw on the identical cartridge family, so the 332-0399 Black 3 Pack and 332-0399 Black 5 Pack serve both models — the packs simply bundle several of the same black cartridge.
