Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Q5949A?

It is HP's part number for the black toner cartridge this family of printers uses — the cartridge also sold under the short name 49A. The two codes are interchangeable on an order form: both describe this single cartridge, priced at $34.40 and rated at 2,500 pages at 5% coverage.

Which printers does it serve?

The whole 1160/1320/3390 line — the range that starts with the desktop LaserJet 1160, runs through the 1320 printers in their network, wireless and extra-tray forms, and reaches the 3390 all-in-one. One code covers every badge in the family, which is what makes it the purchasing department's favorite way to buy this cartridge.

What arrives when I order this listing?

One cartridge, sealed in its box, ready to fit. There is nothing else the printer needs with it — no separate drum unit to order alongside, no second item hiding behind the code. The listing is the complete consumable for one swap.

How do I confirm the delivered box is the right item?

Match the code on the box label to the code on your order: Q5949A, or 49A. If those agree, the cartridge is the right one for any machine in the family, regardless of which model name appears in your notes.

How will I know when it is running out?

The signs are consistent across the family: print that fades or turns patchy, and a supplies status page showing a low estimated percentage. Rocking the cartridge gently redistributes the remaining toner and buys a little time — the window in which the next box should be ordered.

What cover does the purchase include?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, set out on our shipping & returns page. Orders ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA, and CA, and support is staffed Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Q5949A Toner Cartridge

This is the by-the-code listing: the one buyers land on when the reorder sheet, the asset register or the cartridge label itself gives them a part number rather than a printer name. It is the standard 49A at $34.40 in our HP range, with the family's standard 2,500-page rating.

Buying by code has one quiet advantage — it cannot be wrong-footed by trim letters. Network, wireless, extra tray or all-in-one, the suffixes that multiply printer names never touch the cartridge, and the code on this box is the whole of the specification.
