HP Color LaserJet CP1518 Toner Cartridges

Color LaserJet CP1518

The Color LaserJet CP1518 is the retail-channel variant of the CP1515 family — same compact color printer, sold through stores with a bundle aimed at home offices.

Under the bundle it is pure CP15xx hardware, so it takes HP 125A toner (CB540A black, CB541A–CB543A color). Compatible or genuine OEM, restock it like any CP1515.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are third-party toner cartridges safe to use in the Color LaserJet CP1518?

Use CB540A, CB541A, CB542A, CB543A in the Color LaserJet CP1518 — that is the full HP 125A set. Compatible replacements work fine as long as they are made for HP 125A; the Color LaserJet CP1518 will not accept cartridges from other HP families.

How do I install a new CB540A cartridge in the Color LaserJet CP1518?

Open the front cover of the Color LaserJet CP1518, pull the empty cartridge out by its handle, slide the new one in until it clicks, and close the cover. The Color LaserJet CP1518 usually calibrates itself right after.

What should I do when the Color LaserJet CP1518 shows a toner-low warning?

A toner-low message on the Color LaserJet CP1518 is an early warning, not a hard stop — you can typically keep printing while a replacement is on the way. When output starts looking faded, remove the cartridge, rock it gently side to side, and reinstall it to squeeze out extra pages.
