Magenta in HP's 206A set is the W2113A, which fits the Color LaserJet Pro M255dw and the MFP M283fdw. Rated at 1250 pages at around $75.00, it costs 6.00c for a page of magenta.
The single most common way to waste money on this printer is buying the wrong regional number. HP sells this cartridge as 206A in North America and as 207A in Europe and Asia, and its own replacement documentation cautions that cartridges are for distribution and use within their designated region only and will not work outside of their designated region. A grey market cartridge that arrives cheap from another continent can be entirely genuine and still be rejected on sight. Read the number printed on the toner currently in the machine before ordering, not the number on a search result.
That refusal is easy to mistake for a firmware block, because the panel says much the same thing. The difference is timing and repetition. A regional mismatch fails immediately and fails identically with every cartridge from that batch. A dynamic security block, which HP's data sheet for the M255dw does warn about, typically hits a compatible cartridge that had been printing for weeks, straight after the printer updated itself.
Magenta itself goes first on anything with photographs or warm tones in it, while an office printing charts may empty cyan long before this one. Buy by colour rather than as a set, and the shelf stops filling with cartridges you do not need.
