LaserJet 4050 USB-MAC
HP's 4050 USB-MAC was a Macintosh-friendly configuration of the LaserJet 4050 — USB connectivity for the design studios and creative departments that standardized on Macs around 2000. The workgroup engine underneath was pure HP.
It uses HP 27A (C4127A) toner; the high-yield HP 27X (C4127X) is the value pick. Compatible and genuine OEM cartridges available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the C4127A and C4127X cartridges for the HP LaserJet 4050 USB-MAC?
The C4127A is the standard-yield HP 27A cartridge and the C4127X is the high-yield HP 27X — both made for the HP LaserJet 4050 USB-MAC. If you print regularly, the C4127X usually means fewer cartridge swaps over time.
What should I do with the empty C4127A from my HP LaserJet 4050 USB-MAC?

How do I replace the toner in the HP LaserJet 4050 USB-MAC?
Open the front cover of the HP LaserJet 4050 USB-MAC, pull the old C4127A cartridge straight out, then unbox the new one and remove any protective seals. Slide the new HP 27A cartridge into the HP LaserJet 4050 USB-MAC until it clicks, close the cover, and print a test page.
