HP LaserJet 1020 toner
Your LaserJet 1020 takes the 12A (standard yield). At our price that is about 1.1¢ a page.
The HP LaserJet 1020 is a mono laser printer.
The cartridge it takes is the 12A, rated by HP at about 2,000 pages, which works out to roughly 1.1¢ a page at our price of $21.99.
On this printer the drum is built into the cartridge, so there is no separate drum to buy or reset. Every new cartridge brings a fresh drum with it.
When you compare prices, compare cost per page rather than the sticker price: a cheaper cartridge with half the rated yield costs more to run. Every cartridge here ships free, is covered by our printer damage protection and can be returned within 90 days, opened or not.

Questions about the LaserJet 1020
What toner does the HP LaserJet 1020 use?
The 12A. HP lists this cartridge as compatible with this model, and the yields on this page are HP's published figures.

No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your warranty because you used a third-party cartridge. If one of ours damages the printer, our printer damage protection covers the repair.
