The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the

HP packaging.)
Print cartridge storage
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready
to use it.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
Print cartridge life expectancy
The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the
amount of toner that print jobs require. For example, when printing
text at 5 percent coverage, an HP print cartridge lasts an average of
8,000 pages. (A typical business letter is about 5 percent coverage.)
At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the toner
level, as described below.
