The LaserJet 2100 and its successor the 2200 were the small-office lasers of their day, and both generations share one black toner cartridge: the HP 96A (C4096A). The LaserJet 2100, the LaserJet 2200DN and everything in between load the identical unit, so offices running a mix of both never juggle multiple SKUs. HP skipped a high-yield version here, leaving the 96A as the lone, uncomplicated choice. Clever Supplies offers it as the genuine OEM HP cartridge and as a compatible, which puts the decision where it belongs — original factory toner or a budget-friendly third-party build. These printers are famously frugal with toner, so a single 96A goes a long way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the 96A in my LaserJet 2200 if the box mentions the 2100?
Yes. The 96A (C4096A) is the shared cartridge for both the LaserJet 2100 and 2200 families, so packaging may name either series. If your printer is a 2100 or 2200 of any suffix, this cartridge fits.
What does 'compatible' actually mean for a 96A cartridge?
It means a third-party manufacturer built a new cartridge to HP's specifications — same shape, same chip interface, same toner capacity — rather than HP building it. It's a brand-new cartridge, not a refill, and it's designed to work exactly like the original in your printer.
We barely print — will the 96A go stale sitting in the printer?
Toner is a dry powder, so unlike inkjet ink it doesn't dry out or clog. A 96A can sit in a lightly used printer for many months and still print cleanly. If output ever looks faded after a long idle stretch, removing the cartridge and gently rocking it redistributes the toner.
