Quick answer
All four machines take the same cartridge: W1590A, 5,000 pages, with chip — supplied as a single worldwide (WW) SKU with no regional variants, so one stock build serves every market.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 5501 toner — W1590A
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 5501 takes the W1590A, rated 5,000 pages. Region: WW.
The base machine of the new enterprise A4 platform. If you are replacing an 89A-era fleet, this is the model your accounts will name first — so it is also the search phrase buyers type before they know the cartridge code.
Where it fits in a fleet: Print-heavy departments and back offices that need speed and a small footprint but no scanning or copying at the device.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 5502 toner — W1590A
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 5502 takes the W1590A, rated 5,000 pages. Region: WW.
One cartridge code across 5501 and 5502 is the practical win for distributors: a single SKU covers both models, so you do not carry two part numbers for the same yield class.
Where it fits in a fleet: Same print engine class as the 5501, typically deployed alongside it in larger roll-outs where a single consumable across the floor matters more than per-device features.

HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5601 toner — W1590A
The HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5601 takes the W1590A, rated 5,000 pages. Region: WW.
MFP fleets run higher monthly volumes per device than single-function units, which is exactly where a 5,000-page yield at 100% of OEM rating decides cost-per-page — and where a chip that reports faults early gets noticed.
Where it fits in a fleet: Shared floors and branch offices — one device replaces a printer, a copier and a scanner.

HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5602 toner — W1590A
The HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5602 takes the W1590A, rated 5,000 pages. Region: WW.
Like the rest of the family, the 5602 moved off the old magnetic-toner platform. Ordering by machine name is safer than ordering by old habit: "89A" is a different cartridge and will not fit.
Where it fits in a fleet: The MFP counterpart deployed together with the 5601 in mixed fleets, keeping every floor on the same consumable.

One worldwide (WW) SKU — no regional variants
Unlike several HP lines that are split into regional builds, W1590A is supplied as a single worldwide (WW) part number. There is no "wrong region" SKU to buy by mistake, no separate stock for Europe versus North America, and no firmware mismatch between regions. For a distributor that means one purchase order, one shelf bin and one forecast line covering every market — for a bid or tender it means the same specification sheet applies everywhere. Two builds are available under the same part number: an own-patent OPC-gear structure for listings that must clear patent checks, and an OEM-clone structure for offline tender work where the buyer specifies OEM-equivalent construction. Both carry a permanent-memory serial-number chip that is recognised on installation and reports no faults through the full 5,000-page life.
W1590A vs 89A: why CF289A / CF289X will not fit these machines
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 5501 / 5502 / MFP 5601 / 5602 family moved to a developer-roller (DR) architecture with non-magnetic chemical toner and optical toner-level sensing. The old CF289A / CF289X (89A) cartridge is physically and electronically different: it will not fit these machines, and W1590A will not fit 89A machines. If you still list 89A for this family, you will ship the wrong box — which is why the migration is worth handling explicitly in your catalogue rather than waiting for returns.

Frequently asked questions
What toner cartridge does the HP LaserJet Enterprise 5501 use?
It uses W1590A — a with-chip monochrome cartridge rated at 5,000 pages. W1590A is the successor platform to CF289A / CF289X (89A) and is not interchangeable with it.
What toner cartridge does the HP LaserJet Enterprise 5502 use?
The same one: W1590A, 5,000 pages, with chip. The 5501 and 5502 share a single cartridge code, so a distributor can cover both models with one stock line.
What toner does the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5601 take?
W1590A, 5,000 pages, with chip. Being a multifunction device it usually runs higher monthly volume, which makes cost-per-page and chip reliability the two things worth testing before a volume order.
What toner does the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5602 take?
W1590A as well — all four models (5501, 5502, MFP 5601, MFP 5602) share this single cartridge.
Is there a regional difference — is this a WW (worldwide) cartridge?
No regional difference. W1590A ships as one worldwide (WW) build with no regional variants, unlike some HP lines that are split by geography. One part number serves every market, which removes the risk of buying the wrong region SKU.
Can I test before ordering volume?
Yes. Sample units are free — you only pay the courier. We ship from Zhuhai, China and reply to inquiries within 24 hours.
