Small-footprint LaserJet printers like the P1566, the P1606dn, and the M1536dnf MFP all feed on the HP CE278A, better known as the HP 78A. This is a standard-yield black cartridge — HP never released an X high-yield version in this line, so heavy users are better off keeping a spare on the shelf. It fits a tight family of compact mono machines, including the LaserJet P1560, the P1606dn, the M1536dnf MFP, and the Pro P1566. The cartridge is a single-piece design: toner and drum in one unit, so each swap restores print quality completely. Our store stocks both genuine OEM HP 78A cartridges and compatible alternatives that print the same crisp text for less. Pick original if you want HP-branded supplies, or go compatible and cut your cost per page.

Frequently Asked Questions
My printer says '78A' — is CE278A the same thing?
Yes. CE278A is HP's long part number; 78A is the short marketing name, and they refer to the identical cartridge. Either number on your old cartridge or in your printer's supplies menu means this page's cartridges fit. Just confirm your printer model appears in the list above before ordering.
Will a compatible 78A void my printer warranty?
Using a compatible cartridge does not void the HP printer warranty itself — warranty coverage applies to the printer, not the consumable. If a defective cartridge ever damaged a printer, that damage would not be covered, which is why buying compatibles from a reputable seller matters. Our compatible 78A cartridges are tested for fit and print quality in the listed models.
How long does a 78A cartridge last?
That depends entirely on what you print — pages with heavy graphics drain toner far faster than plain text documents. Since the 78A comes only in standard yield, frequent printers should keep a spare. Your printer's estimated-pages-remaining indicator gives the best real-world gauge; when it warns of low toner, order your replacement.
