Choose a reference to carry it into your enquiry. This requests a checked match and quotation; it does not place an order or reserve stock.
Match the reference to your printer.
These checked examples apply to the references shown beside them. They are not a complete compatibility list. A higher-capacity cartridge may fit fewer printers than the standard version. Send your full model so we can confirm the right Compatible or Original option.

We check suitable Compatible toner first, with Original options also available. Return Programme labels in the reference table refer to Original Lexmark supplies with single-use and return-to-Lexmark conditions. A Compatible product is quoted separately and is not a Lexmark Return Programme cartridge or represented as approved by Lexmark. Tell us about any managed-print arrangement or cartridge warning; we confirm suitability, price and delivery before you order.
Replacing toner or another supply?
Toner, imaging units, photoconductors, waste containers and maintenance supplies are different items. Send the exact printer warning so we can identify the right part. These guides cover ordinary office toner; MICR and unverified managed-print supplies need a separate check.
