HP's TONER SHORTAGE CONTINUES

HP's TONER SHORTAGE CONTINUES
Last January, news websites and industry publications began reporting that there was a shortage of the HP CE285A, or 85A, black toner cartridge used in the monochrome LaserJet Pro P1102w printer and LaserJet Pro M1212 MFP. The shortage left some distributors out of stock and frustrated customers, some of whom vented on HP’s “customer reviews” message board for the cartridge. At the time, HP issued a public statement attributing the shortage to the “tremendous demand” it has experience for the HP LaserJet P1102w and M1212, which were announced in the spring of 2010. The company promised, “We are working quickly to meet the growing market demand for this product and minimize the impact to our channel partners and customers.”

Now that a couple of months have passed, we wondered if HP and its manufacturing partner, Canon, have been able to ramp up production to meet market demand for the HP 85A. It seems that while HP and Canon are continuing to work to address the situation, this toner cartridge remains in short supply.
