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.
