Dell B1160W Toner Cartridges | Compatible & OEM

Multifunction B1160W

The Dell B1160W takes the compact monochrome multifunction formula and cuts the cord: built-in wireless means every laptop, tablet and phone in the house can print, copy and scan through it without a USB cable dictating where the machine lives. All of that traffic runs through a single supply, the black 331-7335 cartridge, so keeping this printer fed is a one-item shopping list — the options below are that cartridge under its part number and its model names, in singles and multipacks.

Wireless access changes how a small printer gets used. A machine anyone can reach from anywhere tends to collect jobs from the whole household — a recipe here, a return label there, a chapter of a report at midnight — and its cartridge drains faster than a tethered printer's would. The flip side is that one spare on the shelf covers everything the B1160W does, because printing, copying and fax-free scanning all draw on the same toner or, in the scanner's case, none at all.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Think about how many people print through this machine, not how many pages the spec sheet promises. A single user with light needs can run cartridge to cartridge with the single; a household sharing the wireless connection should lean toward the 2-pack or larger, since the printer that is easiest to reach is always the one that runs dry first — usually halfway through someone else's job. The bigger multipacks suit a home business that prints daily and prefers ordering a few times a year. Whichever size you pick, the cartridge itself is identical: the same 331-7335 unit the wired B1160 takes.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Install a fresh cartridge and give the printer a moment to recognize its chip before sending jobs from three different devices at once; the first print after a swap is the machine's handshake. Because a wireless unit often sits in a bedroom corner or hallway rather than an office, store its spare somewhere cool and dry, still sealed — heat from a sunny shelf shortens a stored cartridge's useful life. If pages emerge with a gray background wash, that is toner behavior worth watching: it usually means the installed cartridge is nearing the end or has been shaken too hard in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scan wirelessly with the B1160W?

Yes — the wireless connection carries scanning as well as printing, so scans land on your computer without a cable. Scanning itself spends no toner; only printing and copying draw from the 331-7335 cartridge.

Which cartridges does the B1160W take?

The same single cartridge as the wired Multifunction B1160: the 331-7335 black unit. Listings named for either model fit both machines, which is why B1160-named cartridges appear in the list above.

Copies from my B1160W look streaky. Where do I start?

With the scanner glass. Streaks that appear on copies but not on computer prints almost always trace to a smudge or correction-fluid mark on the glass. If ordinary prints streak as well, the cartridge is the suspect and a replacement is the fix.

How are these cartridges guaranteed?

The compatible cartridges for the B1160W carry a one-year warranty and one-year returns, matching the cover you would want on a machine the whole household depends on.
