I received the correct Q5949X cartridge.
My calculations for cost per page is only 2 cents per page, which is contrary to another reviewer's claim of 12 cents per page.
$120.00 divided by 6000 pages equals 2 cents per page.

Despite the nice photo, what I received was an "HP-Compatible" cartridge, not an actual cartridge manufactured by HP.

5.0 out of 5 stars real page count, and how to stretch it, January 7, 2009

With my previous instance of this cartridge, i was able to get about 4500 pages. Sometimes our household prints stuff that is more dense than a typical text-only business letter [which is what HP uses to calculate per-page toner usage -- I know, I used to work there]. Still at $112.00 / 4500, that's under 2.5c per page. --ALSO-- note that once the printer begins to warn of low toner [by lighting the amber supply indicator-lamp on the front panel] you can typically print many dozens of further pages before the toner really blanks out and goes soft in the middle of the page. A very old trick when you start to see physical evidence [on the page] of low toner, is to remove the cartridge, carefully rock it left to right [while holding the ends] and then re-install. When this finally fails to remove the lightness in the middle of pages, it is time to replace it. Low toner won't harm the printer [it's like printing a mostly blank page, for example]. Sometimes in this state, the printer will refuse to print and flash the amber warning light -- press the green "GO" button to force it to print. You can save a few bucks if you follow this advice...
