Why choose the genuine HP 32A imaging drum
Genuine HP 32A imaging drum (CF232A): on this series toner and drum are separate. The drum outlasts several toner cartridges (23,000 pages); the printer signals when it must be replaced. A genuine drum keeps sharpness and avoids repeated marks.
Drum and toner: two consumables
The toner holds the powder; the CF232A drum lays it on the sheet. The drum lasts about 23,000 pages. Repeated marks at regular intervals or a gray background: it is the drum to change, not the toner.
Printers compatible with the CF232A
The CF232A is compatible with 10 HP models (manufacturer list):
- HP LaserJet Pro M227sdn (G3Q74A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M227fdw (G3Q75AR)
- HP LaserJet Pro M227fdw (G3Q75A)

Check the exact reference of your printer (label at the back or Information menu); suffixes (dn, dw, fdw, n) are variants of the same series and use the same consumables.
Page yield
23,000 pages (manufacturer estimate).
Installation and maintenance
Tool-free replacement: open the cover, remove the assembly, separate the toner from the used drum and clip it onto the new drum, put the assembly back. Do not touch the green surface and do not expose it to light for long. The used drum is returned through HP Planet Partners.
Use and tips
The CF232A drum is replaced far less often than the toner: 23,000 pages, i.e. about a year and a half at 1,000 pages per month. The printer's counter tracks its wear and shows "Imaging drum very low" then "Replace".
Keep the drum in its packaging until installation; when installing, do not touch the green surface and limit exposure to light. Repeated marks at regular intervals or a gray background: replace the drum, not the toner.
