LaserJet 1030
The LaserJet 1030 belongs to HP's 12A cartridge family — a lesser-known model name in the store catalog that shares its toner with the famous 1010/1020 personal laser line. Whatever its channel origins, its printing needs are the familiar ones.
It takes the HP 12A cartridge (Q2612A), with the high-yield HP 12X (Q2612X) optional. Compatible and genuine OEM toner both fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Q2612A and Q2612X cartridges for the HP LaserJet 1030?
Both the Q2612A (HP 12A) and the Q2612X (HP 12X) fit the HP LaserJet 1030; the X is simply the high-yield version that lasts longer per cartridge. The cartridges are physically interchangeable, so pick whichever matches your print volume.
How do I print a test page on the HP LaserJet 1030 after changing the toner?
Seat the replacement Q2612A, close the HP LaserJet 1030, and print a page — the printer's built-in demo or status page works well. Even black coverage tells you the HP 12A cartridge is installed right in the HP LaserJet 1030.
Should I choose genuine OEM or compatible toner for the HP LaserJet 1030?
Both are legitimate choices for the HP LaserJet 1030. OEM Q2612A cartridges come straight from HP with the exact factory formulation; compatible HP 12A cartridges match the fit and deliver solid results on the HP LaserJet 1030 at a lower price point.
