How many pages can this printer print off with the ink provided? I have been doing some research on lasers, but stumbled across this inkjet. :)

I did not track, but it would be fair to say a couple hundred. It is not a high capacity cartridge that comes with it. I found a refurbished ink place on Amazon called MPC Direct who is extremely reasonable and seems to work great! The black ran out and I'm still using the 3 color cartridges that csme with the printer at time of purchase. I love the printer! It works great and does everything it claims.

I don't know the exact answer, but you can rest assured it is a lot. We tried both the after-market cheap ones and the real deal. Use the real cartridges, they actually have more ink in them than the cheaper ones. We have run off many many hundreds of pages with the replacement set. No problems. We used to use a laser but the powdered ink junk leaked all over the place and the print outs were streaked. We threw it out....

Turning on the toner saver can extend the use, but I agree with the other poster that most dedicated Lasers have better cost per page. I've got one of those old HPs 4Ls with a refillable toner cart for those big jobs, at less than a penny a page.

DO NOT use laser printer, i just did and the pictures were all smashed and discolored. I have not tried in on regular inkjet printer yet.

HP, the manufacturer, tells the buyer on the package info approximately how many pages each ink cartridge should last. I own 2 printers that use this cartridge and I purchased the 2nd printer specifically because it is the newer model of the 1st printer and it uses the same cartridges. I have been super impressed with the life of these cartridges. My Lexmark I purchased a few years back only printer 500 black copies for the same ink cost with HP's 950XL that prints 2500 black pages. I use the XL version of the cartridge and it is supposed to get 2500 pages on the XL cartridge (and that sounds about right on actual use). So the regular cartridge (which is what comes with the printer) getting about 1800 pages does sound correct. I do recommend purchasing the 950XL cartridge if you do a lot of printing. It runs roughly $35 on Amazon.

It only takes 3-10 seconds after you press "print" before it starts printing. Time is used for the signal to reach the printer and warming up. To me, it's "Fast" simply because i've used ink jet for years, and i mean some great ones from HP to Canon and this "laser" is the best printer for speed, clarity, and dependability that i've ever used. The amount of paper it uses is incredible before you have to replace the ink cartridge. I've had mine for two years now and i've only gone through 3 cartridges, four at most, and still haven't replaced the drum. Do whatever is best, but I Love this printer...

This printer does not take inker. It uses thermal paper which does not need ink. If you are using the thermal paper, it works

I don't know, but after over one month of use of the printer, I still have 80 % of the 4 inks left in my printer. I love the printer and I love the low ink usage. I may be getting 5 or 6000 pages per cartrige.

Boy,..that's a good question...I have an inkjet all in one and this paper is the best!...no idea if it works with laser printers....I just looked all over the box and the only thing I can find is this little logo that says "works with....kodak, epson, dell, lexmark, brother, canon, and hp"...but it does'nt tell what kind of printer......just the brand

This laser printer uses an all-in-one toner and drum kit as its only consumable. They are relatively inexpensive to buy. I cant imagine you would want to void the warranty, go through the hassle, and reduce the output quality to save what 1/3 of a penny per page?

That is an interesting price point! If you think their ink price is disgusting take a look at Ricoh's. Its laser cartridges easily add up to a downpayment on a new house! I did finally get Canadian support on the machine on the issue of making the network server feature work (use Firefox not Chrome if you are on a Mac) and once I networked it, it has not power-failed ever again. The internet server has to REMAIN ON all the time. Don't know how long that will last but it has turned out to be a gem for its low price tag.

Good info on holding down the green key for about 4 sec to get the page count.Never looked at this before. My very old 1022 printed 15,220 pages... so far ... and still going strong.Here is my data point. I get about 2,000 pages per LD brand toner cartridge.

This printer will no longer print if it runs out of one ink. I have the printer and have experienced it.

Good laser printer. it has three color and one black cartridge. they are a little costly running around 75. But you can find them cheaper on here and purchase them as a set. In our office we have two of them.

That kind of problem doesn't normally happen with lasers, except under certain circumstances which I haven't tested on this model (transparencies or immediate double-sided printing of hot paper).On your inkjet, you might try one of HP's "color lock" papers, or try some other paper type declarations in your print dialog. The print driver should put different amounts of ink on the page depending on the type of paper you tell it you are using.

Seems to me a very funny question! Of course it could print any size you specify! But I would like to know how is the photo quality? Since this is an "office" jet, not a "photo" smart machine, I would like to know how it compares to the top-rated photo-smart printers from HP.

Well I have printed over 50 pages thus far no problems. I really cannot tell you how many pages it will print. However I brought one from B'j's warehouse and it lasted me two semester in college. If it last me to January 2014 I will be happy. Hope this is helpful.

No, it's not a laser printer, it's a solid ink printer. Yes you can print photos from it...excellent photos. The ink is actually solid blocks of pure ink, not toner cartridges or inkjet cartridges.
