HP 48A Black Original Toner Cartridge (CF248A) – For LaserJet Pro M15, M16 and MFP M28, M29 Series

The HP 48A Black Original Toner Cartridge (CF248A) is a replacement cartridge for HP LaserJet Pro M15 and M16 printers and HP LaserJet Pro MFP M28 and M29 series. It prints about 1,000 pages of black text and combines the toner supply and imaging drum in a single compact cartridge.

Deep-Dive Story & Problem/Solution

Small Laser Printers Stop When Their Only Cartridge Is Empty

Compact LaserJet Pro models are often the only printer in a home office. When toner runs out without a spare on the shelf, invoices and shipping labels wait until a replacement arrives.

Keeping an HP 48A on hand avoids that gap. Each cartridge prints about 1,000 pages and renews the drum, so text returns to full darkness right away.

The cartridge chip reports toner level to the printer and to the HP Smart app.
