I, too, received the lower capacity 49A instead of the promised 49X. Four times! Three by Amazon and once by Target. No amount of explanation by me could persuade them to check that large "49A" on the package (see my image, above) before boxing it and mailing it to me. On the fifth attempt, by phone, Amazon simply refused to try again. Yet, as of today, the product is still offered for sale at the attractive $71.99 price.

Ordered the HP Q5949X (high capacity) toner cartridge and received the HP Q5949A (standard capacity) toner cartridge. Based on the price paid I'm assuming they listed the item part number incorrectly on the web. Fair price for the Q5949A, but would have been a great price for the Q5949X. Received the shipment in a timely manner.

DISenchanted needs to check their elementary school math. 33 cents per page?? And this person is making purchasing decisions? OMG!

Based on today's prices:
Q5949A: $64.78/2500 pages = 2.6 cents per page

Q5949X: $104.15/6000 pages = 1.7 cents per page

I ordered the 5949X, Amazon sent the 5949A. I sent it back, they sent another 5949A. The third time, the rep told me Amazon's SKU is probably messed up on this item. Take your chances ordering this here, but I would recommend ordering somewhere else for this, because Amazon has had difficulty managing the inventory info properly on this item.

They listed the 49X and they shipped the 49A(standard capacity), so like everyone else who bought this product, it is really the standard capacity toner that you are going to get. You may get it at a lower cost elsewhere check around.....

I am all for recyling items for our environment, however, I have had several "bad" incidents of low quality recycled toner cartridges. Because of this, I know buy on the name brand cartridge to fit the printer. This vender provided me a name brand cartridge at the best price.

Please check your printer and do not rely on ping-pong reviews from 2005. The "X" version is much larger toner cartridge and will not fit some printers like HP Laser Jet 1160. You will need "A" version for those printers or toner doors will not close. Speaking of: I ordered from OnlineTechStores, and faced this problem because they went by "ship errors" in reviews, then they sent me correct "A" cartridge at no additional cost = very decent retailer. Regardless that HP plays their games with "fit-this-not-fit-that" the OnlineTechStores came out victorious even thou they most likely did not make much on this deal. I write this review to clear the info and to indorse that retailer. Not every time we deal with this so credit is due where it belongs. Do not blame Amazon if mishap happens - it can be fixed, just RTFM instead of listen to know-it-alls, and we will all be happy ever after. LOL

Compatible Q5949A (Hp 49A) Toner, 2500 Page-Yield, Black. Great Product.
The product in use as you describe your experiences with it.

At first, the printer would not accept the cartridge. Was able to override that issue, but the printer then gave a low toner message long before it ran out.

Bought this from Amazon for 35% less compare to all other office supply stores out there including Cost** Wholesale, with next day delivery at my door step. Genuine HP product in a genuine HP packaging. Bravo Amazon.
