Pros
Easy (1)
Address issues
Your systems allow PO Box, but unfortunately your courier does NOT allow delivery to such. They are not allowed to change address, hence had to pickup item from drop-off depot

Look out for expired cartridges
Bought a very expensive HP inkjet printer cartridge only to install and find it was two years past expiry in would not work. Make sure you check expiry dates before purchase

Q: Which HP printers take the 950 XL black cartridge?
A: HP 950 XL Black Ink Cartridge is listed for HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter series and 8600 e-All-in-One series. It is not documented as a universal HP cartridge, so match the CN045AA code with your printer before buying.
Q: Can this cartridge print colour documents or photos?
A: No. HP 950 XL Black Ink Cartridge prints black text, monochrome documents and black elements within graphics only. It does not replace any cyan, magenta or yellow cartridge needed for full-colour pages or photo printing.
Q: What does XL mean on this HP ink cartridge?
A: XL means this is the high-capacity version, designed for more printing between cartridge changes than a standard-capacity option. HP 950 XL Black Ink Cartridge suits frequent document printing where fewer interruptions matter more than the lowest upfront spend.
Q: How many pages does the HP 950XL black print?
A: HP 950XL High Yield Black Original Ink Cartridge is rated for approximately 2,300 black-and-white pages. That figure suits regular document printing, while heavier black coverage and frequent graphics can reduce how far one cartridge goes.
