The HP P1005 laserjet printer is a printer model produced by Hewlett Packard and manufactured by Canon that has been discontinued, but for those who still own one of these printers it is possible to find HP P1005 on the market in a variety of places. The first and most obvious place to look for a refill cartridge is from the Hewlett Packard online store, where you can buy a replacement cartridge with a 1,500 page capacity for about $70, or a 3,000 page cartridge for about $120.

However, as most veteran printing companies can tell you buying directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) can in fact be unnecessarily expensive. The prices you pay for each replacement HP P1005 toner cartridge can be so expensive that you end up paying more than the printer was worth in a surprisingly short amount of time. Yet do not fret, there are several other options available to find toner to keep your old printer running.

The easiest way to replace your HP toner for less money is to buy a refurbished toner cartridge from a third party source. These cartridges are called “compatible” cartridges because they are designed and built to the specifications of the original manufacturer, yet do not carry the logo or branding (and do not spend money on advertising the product like the OEM), thus saving you money. Some compatible cartridges are also made from recycled or refilled cartridge parts, helping to preserve the environment while saving you money.

Another common option is to refill the toner cartridge on your own. You can find several different refill kits for sale with easy to follow instructions for creating the refill hole and refilling the cartridge while maintaining the high quality printing of an OEM product. A quick internet search can tell you more about this option and show you places to purchase these products.
