Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Pro Tip
When replacing your HP 94 series toner cartridge, gently rock the new cartridge horizontally from side to side before removing the protective shield and inserting it. This evenly distributes the dry toner powder inside the reservoir, preventing faint text or patchy output on your initial print runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M148dw, M148fdw and M149fdw use the same toner cartridges?
Yes. All three printer models in this range share identical internal specifications and take the same HP 94A (CF294A) standard and HP 94X (CF294X) high-yield toner cartridges.
Can I install a high-yield CF294X cartridge if my printer originally came with a standard CF294A?
Yes. The CF294X high-yield cartridge has the exact same external physical dimensions as the standard CF294A, so it snaps directly into the same slot inside your printer while providing more than double the page output.
Does the HP 94X toner cartridge include the imaging drum?
No. In this printer system, the HP 94 series toner cartridge (CF294A or CF294X) contains the toner powder supply, while the imaging drum unit is a separate component that generally lasts through multiple toner cartridge changes.
What causes ghosting or repeated marks on printed pages when toner is full?
Repeated faint marks down the page usually indicate surface wear or toner buildup on the separate drum unit rather than a defect with the CF294A or CF294X toner cartridge itself.
