The HP 49 family — the standard 49A and the high-yield 49X, HP part Q5949A — is the black toner for HP's LaserJet 1160, the 1320 series, and the 3390 multifunction line. These were among HP's best-regarded small-office monochrome printers, and the 49X high-yield exists because many of them print far more than their size suggests. It is a single black cartridge, so there is nothing to calibrate and no color to balance — pop it in and the printer is back to factory-fresh text. This page carries both genuine OEM HP 49A/49X cartridges and compatible replacements. Heavy print environments usually reach straight for the 49X to cut down on swaps; lighter users can stick with the standard 49A and still get the sharp output these printers are known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether I need the 49A or 49X?
Both fit the same printers — the LaserJet 1160, 1320 series, and 3390. The 49X is the high-yield version with more toner. Check the code on your installed cartridge: Q5949A is standard, Q5949X is high-yield.
Are compatible 49X cartridges as good as OEM?
For text documents, quality-compatible 49X cartridges are virtually indistinguishable from OEM. The main thing to check is the supplier — established compatible brands test each cartridge, while no-name versions can vary.
Will the high-yield 49X fit my 1320?
Yes — the 49X is physically identical to the 49A, just filled with more toner. It slots into the LaserJet 1160, 1320, and 3390 exactly the same way and prints the same quality.
