Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridge does the code CE342A stand for?

The yellow cartridge in HP's 651A family. When the yellow slot of your M775 calls for a refill, CE342A is the part number to order — one yellow cartridge, sold on its own, at $109.86.

How many pages is the CE342A rated for?

16,000 pages. Yellow usage varies more than any other color: presentation and chart work draws on it constantly, while a text-driven office may find a single cartridge lasts a very long time.

Our color prints look "off" but no single color seems missing. Could it be yellow?

Frequently, yes. Yellow fades gradually and the eye adapts, so prints drift — greens lose their brightness, oranges go muddy, highlight areas flatten — long before anything looks obviously wrong. A fresh CE342A is the usual cure, and the difference on the first test page is unmistakable.

Which printers take this yellow cartridge?

The Color LaserJet MFP M775 line, including the d, f, z and dn variants. Every configuration shares the same cartridge set, and the yellow slot accepts the CE342A across the family.

Do I need to replace anything else when I change the yellow?

No. The color slots are independent; replace the yellow alone and leave cartridges with remaining life in place. The machine recalibrates after the swap and print quality evens out immediately.

What cover does this cartridge come with?

A 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns. Orders ship from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and the support team works Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. Full details are on the shipping and returns page.

About This CE342A Yellow Toner Cartridge

Yellow is the easiest cartridge to neglect on an HP M775, because output degrades by degrees instead of stopping. This CE342A from the 651A family — rated at 16,000 pages, priced at $109.86 — restores the full color balance in a single swap. If the machine's color has been quietly disappointing for weeks, this is very likely the cartridge that fixes it.

The components are stocked individually too — the 651A black (CE340A) single, the 651A cyan (CE341A) single, the 651A magenta (CE343A) single and the 651A four-color set. The 651A yellow (CE342A) cartridge is made for Color LaserJet MFP M775, Color LaserJet MFP M775d, Color LaserJet MFP M775f, Color LaserJet MFP M775z and Color LaserJet MFP M775dn — every machine in that line takes the same fit.
