Does the printer have built in profiles for papers other than HP? Is HP ink mandatory or are there options to have it refilled locally?

Hey, buddy, bad news first. I'm not sure about the ink. However, I do use whatever paper is the cheapest for private projects and non-commercial purposes. Never had any problems with moderate use. Meow, I'm not 100% sure whether or not the printer has built-in profiles for non HP paper, I think it does, but can't verify this because my printer is currently out of state. Hope that helped some.

The printer has a built in densitometer, so creating profiles for a new paper type is just a matter of a few mouse-clicks and waiting 20 minutes or so. You can buy non-HP inks from several sources, and they work pretty well, but I do gallery-quality prints that sell for &gt;$1000, so for me at least, skimping on ink would be foolish. (Note that, depending on how much printing you're doing, you may elect to buy smaller, 130ml ink cartridges rather than the 300 ml cartridges that are standard.)

You can get your own paper - as long is it fit - you can get either - Hp (recommended ) / or none hp

I've used refillable cartridges in the past and didn't like them. But they also weren't from HP. If you can't find it on Amazon, I'm not sure where to get the ink to do it yourself. Good luck!

Yes there is. Make sure you install the PaperPort program to make it work properly. PaperPort is included in the SoftWare Disk included with the Printer. Make sure to install the printer using the Disk rather than using Microsoft's "Included" software. You will get a much better User Interface and many more Printer Options. With the PaperPort installed I have "Scanned" a hundred pages at a time without a problem. Instead of Scanning from "Windows", open PaperPort and Scan from the PaperPort UI (User Interface). You can set it to "Stack" the Scanned objects, reverse their order and/or Unstack them if you wish to view any particular pages. You can Save the scanned pages either in PP or Save them to Docs or Desktop etc., and even Print them directly from PaperPort. The PP Program is worth more than the Printer! Great little Program! Really. READ THE DIRECTIONS (if you don't you may not be able to divine all of the Printer's functions). Good Luck and Enjoy!

if you buy a new one you will get the ink cartage. if you buy a refurbished model, you will not recev' the ink cartage. if you are looking for a printer, i will sell you a printer that was a double order to me, all i ask is that you pay me the purchase price that i payed, which will be $75. i will also include the ink cartage in the printer. the only thing you will need is the usb cable.

Windows XP? What is that? (lol) I have no idea. It would be best to look the printer up on the HP website and read the requirements.

Yes. I am currently using an HP all-in-one printer/copier/scanner and in the printer properties it has an option for "other inkjet photo papers" papers as well as an "other glossy inkjet papers." Depending upon the type of photo image I am printing I select one or the other, insert the paper in the paper tray and adjust the paper guides to fit. I had the same concern when my Kodak printer fuzzed on me and was more than pleased to find out that it does work because where I am there is not a big selection on printers.

You can only use a Samsung printer I found this out once I hooked it up to my hp. I'm not sure where to even get a Samsung printer. I just email the documents to myself and print off my home computer

Yes, it is what I use in mine. You can get it from HP cheaper. It is $11.99 there. They are out of it right now. You can also try Office Max. On the HP site, it says 7520, but it also fits yours and mine. It is what I use all the time. Hope this helps.

The printer comes with a software application that includes the ability to scan a document or image and will save it as a PDF file without any additional software. It is actually a clickable option right out of the HP software. "Save As PDF" or something like that.

Note: HP sent me an email, saying if I use anything other than "Genuine" HP cartridges, I will void my PRINTER warranty (gulp), BUT I considered that if I have to buy another printer, I will buy one that has ink that doesn't cost as much as the printer itself! My printer identified the reused cartridge.

I know that mine came with the ink (I didn't have to do anything or install anything, it worked out of the box.) I can't remember whether it included paper but I think it might have had a small roll. Prior to purchasing I'd been concerned that because this is a discontinued item (from several years ago I believe), the ink would be dried up/wouldn't print....but mine works great.

I have printed pictures and found that I need to remove the regular paper before loading the photo paper. I haven't tried cardstock yet. I do like being able to use third party ink. I do a lot of printing and my HP printer would not allow this or refills and I couldn't afford the ink for it.

Raj,Difficult to say, I replace the initial slight supply proceeed in the printer when purchased and bought a DR-420 to provide me with a large quantity of copes when the refill expire but it has not. Thats been close to a year ago and i use it as my desk copier and print page after page when I want a hard copy. Bottom line is that it is certainly worth the price.

You can check online for a printer manual if you don't have one. Usually an HP printer will have that info on it some where. Mine has the info in the lower left corner of the lid.

I used an HP printer with a USB connect. The computer found and loaded the drivers, no problem. I just had to go into the control panel and change the default printer.

Nope. Just the black ink cartridge so far, and the other ink cartridges are getting low and will need to be replaced soon. Other than that, all has been A-OK for many months with this printer. (And I've had about 10 HP Deskjets and similar models since the original in the 1990s. I've never had to replace any ink service module in any printer.)

if your cartridges are refillable, you can refill them with bulk inks. you will need to get a reset chip--you can check at refillbay.com to see if your printer type is listed for use with the chip. very easy to do
