Color LaserJet 8550
The Color LaserJet 8550 is a late-90s color workgroup machine designed around one idea: dependable printing for large departments. Second-hand units still circulate because the consumable market never dried up. Toner for this model comes from the HP 60A family (C4149A, C4150A).
Stock both kinds and decide per job: genuine OEM C4149A, C4150A for presentations, compatible for internal prints. The Color LaserJet 8550 handles either without complaint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What toner does the Color LaserJet 8550 take?
The Color LaserJet 8550 needs all four of these cartridges installed: C4149A, C4150A, C4151A, C4152A. Any cartridge set marketed as a replacement for these exact codes will work in the Color LaserJet 8550.
Should I replace all four toner cartridges in the Color LaserJet 8550 at once?
No — on the Color LaserJet 8550 each of the four cartridges (C4149A, C4150A, C4151A, C4152A) runs down independently, so only swap the one the printer flags. Replacing working cartridges early in the Color LaserJet 8550 just wastes toner.
Can the Color LaserJet 8550 keep printing in black when a color cartridge runs out?
The Color LaserJet 8550 needs all four cartridges (C4149A, C4150A, C4151A, C4152A) installed to print, even for black-only jobs. To stretch your color toner, choose the grayscale or black-only setting on the Color LaserJet 8550 for everyday documents.
