Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly am I buying for my LaserJet 1015?

The Q2612A black cartridge — the 12A — as a single unit at $28.15. It is the one consumable the 1015 uses, and the code on this box matches the code on the cartridge already in your printer.

How far does one cartridge go?

It is rated at 2,000 pages. A 1015 in a small office, turning out correspondence, estimates and filing copies day after day, will take a fair while to work through that before asking for another.

My prints have a repeating mark down the page. Is that the cartridge?

A mark that repeats at regular intervals usually points at the cartridge's drum rather than the paper path, and it typically arrives near the end of the cartridge's life. A fresh Q2612A is the usual cure; if a mark survives a swap, the printer itself deserves a look.

What preparation does the new cartridge need?

Very little: rock it gently side to side half a dozen times so the toner lies level, take off the protective cover, and pull the sealing strip out in one steady motion before sliding it home.

Is it worth keeping a spare on hand?

For a printer that handles client paperwork, yes. At $28.15 the spare is cheap insurance against a deadline-day empty, and a sealed cartridge stores happily on a shelf until it is called on.

Who do I contact if something is wrong with it?

Our support team, Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. If a cartridge is faulty from the outset, the warranty and returns cover below explains the route — a replacement, not a repair job, is the standard outcome.

About This Cartridge for the LaserJet 1015

Slightly larger than its smallest siblings, the LaserJet 1015 was built for desks that print all day, and its running costs hinge on a single cartridge: the Q2612A, rated at 2,000 pages. This one, at $28.15, restores the printer to full, even black with a swap that takes less time than making coffee.

The paperwork behind it is reassuringly short — a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns on every cartridge, shipping from whichever of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses is nearest to you, and the delivery terms spelled out on the shipping & returns page. More for this generation of LaserJet lives under HP.
