LaserJet 5000

HP's LaserJet 5000, launched in 1998, brought affordable A3 monochrome printing to the mainstream office. This wide-format workhorse handled tabloid-size documents — spreadsheets, posters, and plans — that A4 printers couldn't touch.

It runs on the HP 29A cartridge (C4129A), with the high-yield HP 29X (C4129X) for volume printing. Compatible and genuine OEM toner both available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the C4129A and C4129X cartridges for the HP LaserJet 5000?

Both the C4129A (HP 29A) and the C4129X (HP 29X) fit the HP LaserJet 5000; 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.

Should I buy the C4129A or the C4129X for my HP LaserJet 5000?

Think about volume: the C4129A suits a HP LaserJet 5000 that prints a few pages a week, while the C4129X suits one that works daily. The HP LaserJet 5000 accepts both without any settings change.

Why is my HP LaserJet 5000 printing faded or streaky pages?

Streaks from the HP LaserJet 5000 most often point to low toner in the C4129A or an unevenly distributed cartridge. Try redistributing the HP 29A cartridge with a gentle rock; if pages stay pale, the HP LaserJet 5000 is due for a fresh C4129A.
