Does the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw use the same cartridges as other HP 414-platform printers?

Yes, the M479fdw runs HP’s 414A cartridges (black and each color at 2,300 pages) and supports the 414X high-yield series (5,000 pages each). These are the same consumables used across HP’s 414-platform printers, so you can standardize on one cartridge family in a mixed fleet.
