Specs match the listing
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Compatible printers". The page says OfficeJet Pro 9010, 9012, 9015, 9020, 9025, and that is what turned up. Original cartridge, accepted by HP+ enrolled printers.

Read the fit note, and it was me
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: OfficeJet Pro 9010 or 9020 owners replacing black ink. On that basis it has been the right call. Original cartridge, accepted by HP+ enrolled printers.

Be ready for one thing — About 3.5 cents a page
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: About 3.5 cents a page, worse than a high-yield laser. The 962XL is cheaper per page. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Original cartridge, accepted by HP+ enrolled printers. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

After a few months
Had this a full season now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. About 1,000 pages at the ISO test coverage. Still mildly irritated by one thing: About 3.5 cents a page, worse than a high-yield laser. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
