The title of this review is harsh but, at the time that I purchased this cartridge, it was listed as "new" and the word "re-manufactured" did not appear anywhere in the description.  I was careful to order this one particularly because it was listed as "new."  When it arrived and I opened the bag, the cartridge was covered with toner.  I cleaned it up and installed it in the printer.  From the outset it left toner "skid marks" on every page.  Since it was a "new" HP cartridge, I called HP to tell them of the problem.  They asked me to confirm that the drum in the cartridge was green.  "Yes," I said.  HP: "It doesn't have a blueish cast to it does it?"  "No,"  I said "it does not."  That is when they informed me the green drum indicates that the cartridge is not theirs.  I have purchased reloaded cartridges before and they are far better and less expensive than this piece of junk.  In reading other reviews, this appears to be a problem with Amazon and, while Amazon gave  me an immediate refund and paid for the return shipping, I am still disappointed.  The reviews indicate that most make the same discovery, but decide to keep the cartridge because it works alright, apparently not minding that they paid way too much for it in light of the fact that it is re-manufactured.  Someone is making a lot of money dishonestly selling these things as new and, since Amazon has the power to police this, I hold Amazon.com responsible.  So, Amazon, are you going to police this nor not?  By the way, I now have a new, genuine HP toner cartridge purchased elsewhere...
