Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridges make up a full toner set for the Color LaserJet CP4500?

A full set for the Color LaserJet CP4500 is the HP 647A/648A family: CE260A or CE260X for black, plus CE261A, CE262A, and CE263A for the three colors. Buy only the cartridges that are actually low — the Color LaserJet CP4500 uses each one up at its own pace.

Can I switch from CE260A to CE260X mid-use on the Color LaserJet CP4500?

Yes — the two are fully interchangeable in the Color LaserJet CP4500, so when the CE260A runs out you can simply install a CE260X next. No settings change is needed; the Color LaserJet CP4500 treats it as the same black slot with more toner inside.

Should I replace all four toner cartridges in the Color LaserJet CP4500 at once?

No — on the Color LaserJet CP4500 each of the four cartridges (CE260A, CE260X, CE261A, CE262A, CE263A) runs down independently, so only swap the one the printer flags. Replacing working cartridges early in the Color LaserJet CP4500 just wastes toner.
