Frequently Asked Questions

The order form asks for a part number — what is it for this machine?

Q5949A — the cartridge HP also lists under the short name 49A. It is the only toner cartridge this all-in-one uses: one black unit at $34.40, rated at 2,500 pages, standing behind every sheet of paper the machine produces, however the job reaches it.

Do copies draw on the same cartridge as prints?

Yes. A copy made at the LaserJet 3390 — from the glass or through the document feeder — is printed output, and it comes from the same Q5949A as anything sent from a computer. Offices that copy heavily should expect the cartridge to turn over faster than a print-only pattern suggests.

Does scanning use toner?

None at all. Scanning turns paper into a file; no toner is laid down, so a day spent digitising an archive costs the cartridge nothing. It is the one major function of the machine that leaves the page rating untouched.

What about incoming faxes?

They print in black from this cartridge. A fax-heavy office can drain a cartridge substantially on received pages alone, without anyone sending a print job — worth remembering when a cartridge seems to empty sooner than the print count explains.

How should the 2,500-page rating be read on a machine like this?

As a shared budget across printing, copying and received faxes. The rating itself is firm — 2,500 pages at standard coverage — but the calendar it spans depends on the mix of work the machine absorbs, and all-in-ones absorb more kinds of work than plain printers do.

What cover does the purchase include?

It comes with a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, explained on our shipping & returns page. Orders leave from warehouses in IL, PA, GA, and CA, and support is staffed Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Q5949A Cartridge for the LaserJet 3390

The 3390 folded a whole row of office machines into one — printer, copier, scanner and fax sharing a single engine — and that engine runs on a single standard cartridge: the 49A at $34.40 in our HP range. One box on the shelf feeds every paper-producing job the unit will ever do.

Budgeting for it is a matter of counting honestly. Add copies and received faxes to the print tally when judging how long a cartridge should last, and the machine's appetite stops being a surprise and becomes a schedule.

LaserJet 1160Le, LaserJet 1320, LaserJet 1320n, LaserJet 1320nw, LaserJet 1320t, LaserJet 1320tn, LaserJet 3390 and LaserJet 1160 all draw from the same supply: the 49A (Q5949A). These printers are also covered by the high-yield 49X (Q5949X) single cartridge and the 49A (Q5949A) two-pack.
