Why this cartridge is much smaller than the original HL-2140 one? Is this normal? My initial try does not fit? Should I do anything befor inserting?

Then it should slide right in and fit. Wonder if it was mis-packed by the seller?

You probably removed the drum that goes with the toner when you removed your old toner. Reuse the drum with the new toner.

Mine seems to be identical and fits perfectly. Sounds like you ordered the wrong part. Check your manual or the original. Get the number exactly right.

This might be the issue - when you pull out the cartridge like assembly from the printer it is actually both the toner and the drum. The toner cartridge is grey and the drum is the black frame and mechanism around it. My Brother HL-2140 has a green button on the left that you push to release the toner cartridge, allowing you to lift it out and swap it with the replacement. Hope this helps!

Haven't kept close track of copies, but I am happy with what I do get. In the past I have had an occasional cartridge that was disappointing in # of pages or print quality, but not recently. Make sure you don't get a high output cartridge for an HP1160. The site may say it can be used with the 1160, even tho it can't. I bought one a few months ago and it is now a paperweight/doorstop/anchor.

I don't have that model, but I looked at that model, and it looks the same as the cartridge I ordered. The cartridge screws onto the fill lid, and they look the same.

I do not know how to override the empty cartridge indication. My print allowed me to continue to print until it went empty again. I use 240xl or 241 for my printer

No, didn't work for me. Looks identical until you try to place it into slot - the back guide lines on the cartridge are different

Uncap the pen and unscrew in the middle.... The cartridge should be pilot... The standard cartridge doesn't fit,....

The model that you are indicating is missing a number or letter at at the end "w". It couldbe that is an earlier model or better yet, contact the vendor and reassure yourself that the cartdrige does work with your unit. Make sure you look at unit to aquire the proper model number of your unit. Good luck, if it is the right model and does fit your unit,you are in for a treat, This cartridge works very well and it will last you a long time taking away worries of unabling to complete your work. It has worked well for me and I am very happy with it.

Thanks for getting back to me. My problem is that the small one is the one that is getting empty, and the big one is still as full as when I first bought the printer. I print mostly documents, but don't know how to force the printer to use the big black cartridge. I am thinking of trying selecting "grayscale" more often, to see if that starts drawing down on the big cartridge. I have previously just selected color printing, even if doing only black and white documents.Again, thanks for answering my cry in the wilderness.Cheers!

When I installed this cartridge in my HP M1212nf MFP, the printer display said "Non HP Cartridge Installed" or something to that effect. I pressed the OK button on my printer & the message went away. The message has not returned since & my printer is printing without issue. I also installed these cartridges on 2 family member's printers which are also HP Printers, but different models. One did not give a message at all & just worked. The other gave a similar message like my printer did & again I just hit the OK button, the message was cleared & the printer works normally.

Sorry, my toner cartridge worked fine. I did have a problem getting thr toner "shell" or adapter bracket off the old toner and onto the new toner. No instructions came in new toner! Did you get this "shell" installed correctly. Worst case , return your cartridge and get another.

Assuming you have a printer model that works with the refill kit, there could be a problem with the chip you replaced. Is the new chip installed in the cartridge in the correct orientation? Did you try using the old chip instead of the new one?

Without actually doing a trial fit with the cartridge and the respirator there is no way to tell. I would contact the respirator supplier and give them this cartridge number and let them verify or give you the replacement number you need. It has been so long ago, I do not remember what my models were.

I have experienced that the cartridges are a little too large so they can be hard to secure into the printer, but the cartridges always seem to fit for me. Perhaps you ordered the wrong cartridges for your printer? If that isn't the problem I would tell the vendor what the problem is and ask if they will resend new cartridges.

To my understanding this is the regular sized cartridge...I heard there is an 950-XL which should give you more copies...maybe that's what they're talking about?

Hmm. When I go to the Lexmark website and look up the correct ink cartridge for this model printer, they say it's the 100XL series. Ouch. I know how much those cost, and now that they're opened I don't think anyone will take them back. I'd get them out of the printer asap so as not to damage it. Sorry I don't have good news. Always look at the cartridges that come with the printer first or look it up on the mfr's website so you know you're ordering the correct product.

I used to buy 10 0186 from Amazon,however,one product delivered year 2012 didn't fit with my unit due to the reason that something wrong with small protrude at the bottom of the replacement cartridge,so I ordered another one and use it sinceAugust 6,2013. I tried to grind the bottom in order to fit but failed and set aside still.

the only marking that I know of or needed was that is was HP74 XL. Maybe their is a conversion chart somewhere that shows other numbers that would apply to the same cartridge.
