Frequently Asked Questions

My printer is the fully loaded 2420DTN — does it need a special cartridge?

It does not. Duplexing, networking and the extra tray are paper-side features; the toner bay is the standard one, and it takes the Q6511A, the cartridge HP calls the 11A. Check the label of the unit you remove and you will see that number looking back at you.

What arrives if I order here?

A single black cartridge, sealed, for $45.76. High-volume desks like the DTN's often keep the reorder simple — one at a time, fitted the day the old one fades.

With the extra tray feeding long runs, how fast will 6,000 pages disappear?

Faster than on a personal desk, slower than the raw page count suggests if the work is plain text. A DTN chewing through reports and mail merges can see a cartridge as a few weeks' supply; the rating is your yardstick, and coverage per page is what bends it.

Describe the swap on this model.

Everything happens from the top: cover up, spent cartridge out, new cartridge rocked gently, seal pulled, unit seated, cover down. The trays and the duplexer never need to be touched, and the machine re-registers itself on the next job.

Both trays print light — one cartridge or two problems?

One cartridge. Both paper sources feed the same print engine, so uniform fading across trays is the classic end-of-toner signature. When a fresh Q6511A restores the blacks, you have your confirmation.

What backing does the purchase carry?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with human support on the phones Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Cartridge for the LaserJet 2420DTN

The 2420DTN is the everything-fitted variant of the LaserJet 2420 platform — duplex, network and extra paper capacity in one cabinet — and it is usually bought for throughput. Its toner, though, is the humble 11A: a single black Q6511A rated at 6,000 pages and priced at $45.76.

We ship from IL, PA, GA and CA according to which warehouse holds stock nearest you; the shipping & returns page sets out timings and returns, and the family catalogue is filed under HP.

The same cartridge serves the LaserJet 2420dn, LaserJet 2420n, LaserJet 2430, LaserJet 2430dtn, LaserJet 2430n, LaserJet 2420 and LaserJet 2420d. Alongside this model-specific listing sit the plain Q6511A cartridge listing, a Q6511A 2-pack for a shelf spare and the high-yield Q6511X for longer runs between swaps.
