Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn more about performance differences in our genuine vs compatible cartridge guide.
How to Buy and Delivery Details
Text-heavy document printing depletes the W2090A black cartridge significantly faster than the colour units. Buying a multi-pack ensures you have spare black and colour cartridges on hand before depletion stops print jobs. Compatible cartridges include a money-back guarantee for peace of mind. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, shipped directly from our Australian warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Color LaserJet 150 and 170 series printers use a single imaging drum shared across all four toner slots. When replacing individual 119A toner cartridges, ensure no loose toner powder lands on the exposed transfer belt inside the printer chamber to prevent permanent background streaks across subsequent print jobs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do all four HP 119A colour cartridges run out even if I only print black and white?
HP Color LaserJet 150 and MFP 170 series printers perform automatic calibration cycles upon start-up and periodically during print runs. These recalibration routines engage all four toner carousels, consuming small amounts of cyan, magenta, and yellow toner to keep image registration aligned even when producing pure black text.
Can I mix genuine HP 119A cartridges with compatible 119A cartridges in the same printer?
Yes. You can install a compatible W2090A black toner cartridge alongside genuine W2091A, W2092A, or W2093A colour cartridges. The printer reads the microchips independently, so each cartridge reports its toner levels accurately regardless of brand combination.
How does the separate drum unit affect HP 119A toner cartridge replacements?
Unlike larger enterprise laser cartridges that combine toner and drum into one physical unit, HP 119A cartridges contain only toner powder. This design keeps individual toner replacement costs lower, but requires replacing the separate imaging drum unit once its fixed page counter limit is reached.
