Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any HP toner cartridge in the LaserJet M426fdn MFP?

No — the LaserJet M426fdn MFP only accepts CF226A, CF226X. Toner cartridges are keyed to specific printer families, so one made for another HP model generally won't fit or be recognized. Stick to the codes listed for your LaserJet M426fdn MFP.

Why won't my LaserJet M426fdn MFP print after a cartridge change?

If the LaserJet M426fdn 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 M426fdn MFP when the toner runs out?

Yes — scanning to a computer doesn't use toner, so the LaserJet M426fdn 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 M426fdn MFP start fading.
