Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Q2612A and Q2612X cartridges for the HP Laserjet 1010?
The Q2612A is the standard-yield HP 12A cartridge and the Q2612X is the high-yield HP 12X — both made for the HP Laserjet 1010. If you print regularly, the Q2612X usually means fewer cartridge swaps over time.
Can I keep printing on the HP Laserjet 1010 after the toner light comes on?
Yes — the HP Laserjet 1010 will keep printing after the toner-low light appears, often for quite a while. Rock the Q2612A cartridge gently to coax out the remaining toner, and replace the HP 12A cartridge in the HP Laserjet 1010 when print quality fades.
Does the HP Laserjet 1010 print in color?
The HP Laserjet 1010 prints black and white only. It uses one black toner cartridge (Q2612A), which is also why toner costs on the HP Laserjet 1010 stay low compared with color lasers.
