I spent a few days looking for used cartridges on eBay and finally
went to Staples and spent twice as much. I had to parse every word of
every listing (and there are quite a few listings, even for my antique
LJ 4050), or ask the seller directly, to determine if it was really a
cartridge made by HP. The vast majority — even those that use
pictures of HP products — are knockoffs. It’s immensely frustrating.

That doesn’t seem to be an issue for all HP printers.
