LaserJet M426dw MFP

A mid-2010s mono multifunction printer, the LaserJet M426dw MFP reflects an era when printers were bought for durability first and features second. The LaserJet M426dw MFP doesn't try to be everything; it focuses on everyday office document printing, which explains its loyal installed base.

The LaserJet M426dw MFP runs on the HP 26A family — the CF226A cartridge — shared with 7 other HP models, so supplies stay easy to find. The LaserJet M426dw MFP also accepts the high-yield CF226X for busier stretches, alongside the standard CF226A for everyday office document printing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know I'm buying the right toner for my LaserJet M426dw MFP?

Compare the code on the box with the LaserJet M426dw MFP's list: CF226A, CF226X. HP makes look-alike cartridges for different printer families, so a code match is your guarantee.

Why won't my LaserJet M426dw MFP print after a cartridge change?

If the LaserJet M426dw MFP won't print after a cartridge change, confirm the new CF226A is fully seated and its sealing tape was removed. Read any message on the printer's display and follow its steps. Removing and reinserting the cartridge with the printer powered on usually clears recognition errors.

Can I still scan with the LaserJet M426dw MFP when the toner runs out?

Yes — scanning to a computer doesn't use toner, so the LaserJet M426dw MFP keeps scanning even with an empty CF226A. Copying is the exception: it prints the scan, so it needs toner to work. Replace the CF226A when copies from the LaserJet M426dw MFP start fading.
