greencycle Compatible HP 134A Black Toner Cartridge (2-Pack)

In this review of the greencycle 2-pack compatible toner for HP 134A, the bottom line is simple: it is a cost-conscious replacement for users of compatible LaserJet models who need clear black text and decent page yield without paying for OEM cartridges. The cartridge is aimed at small offices and home users running HP M209dw, M234dw, M234sdn or M234sdw printers; the biggest reason to buy is the combination of up to 1,100 pages per cartridge and easy installation, which delivers good print quality for everyday documents while preserving a low per-page cost.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed to work with HP models M209dw, M234dw, M234sdn and M234sdw for straightforward replacement in these printers.
• High page yield: Each W1340A compatible cartridge can yield up to 1,100 pages at 5% coverage, helping reduce frequency of replacements for normal office printing.
• Chip included: The cartridges include a chip so they are recognized by many printers, though firmware updates can affect recognition.
• Print quality: Prints resist fading, smudging and blurring, producing clear black text suitable for reports and everyday documents.
• Easy install: Users report an uncomplicated installation and a snug fit that mirrors original cartridges for quick swapping.
• After-sales support: greencycle offers customer service to help with issues like cartridge recognition or installation questions.

Who It's For

This cartridge is best for small business users, home office owners, or students using supported HP LaserJet models who want a lower-cost alternative to OEM toner and respectable black-and-white print results. It fits routines that produce mostly text documents and occasional graphics at standard coverage.

It is not for owners of HP+ activated printers or the specific M209dwe, M234dwe, M234sdne or M234sdwe variants; those systems or service-activated devices may refuse non-genuine cartridges or require OEM supplies. Buyers who need guaranteed toner-level reporting or the absolute longest longevity per cartridge should consider original manufacturer options instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value for money with a high quoted page yield and lower per-page cost than OEM cartridges.
• Reliable print quality for crisp, readable text and reduced smearing on standard office documents.
• Easy to install and fits the printer correctly, with included chips to enable recognition in many models.

Cons

• Chip may stop being recognized after printer firmware updates or on HP+ activated printers, requiring workarounds.
• Toner-level reporting is not reliable; the chip may not show remaining toner accurately so users must rely on print output.

Our Verdict

The greencycle 2-pack compatible HP 134A is a practical, budget-minded choice for users of supported LaserJet models who need consistent black text and solid page yield without the OEM price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these cartridges work with my M234dw?
Yes, the cartridges are designed to be compatible with the M234dw and related supported models listed by greencycle.

Why does the printer say cartridge low after installation?
The chip does not reliably report remaining toner, so the printer may show a cartridge low message even if the cartridge still prints; skip the warning to continue printing.

Can I use these with HP+ or M234dwe models?
No, HP+ activated printers and the dwe/dne variants listed are not compatible and may reject non-genuine cartridges.
