Three numbers, one printer generation

HP 305, HP 67 and HP 805 belong to the same generation of DeskJet 2700/2800/4100/4200 and ENVY 6000/6400 printers, with the same stated yields: about 120 pages black and 100 pages tri-colour for the standard cartridges, 240 and 200 for XL. What differs is the region the cartridge and the printer are made for.
