HP LaserJet M207-M212 printers - Replace a toner cartridge

If a toner cartridge is empty, replace it with a new, genuine HP toner cartridge.

Consider having a replacement cartridge available to install when the toner runs low. The printer indicates the toner cartridge level is low or very low in the following ways:

  • The Cartridge light blinks.

  • A Cartridge is Very Low message displays on the HP Smart App or Windows 7 driver.

  • Print quality degrades and becomes unacceptable.
