I set this printer up on Dec. 26. Yesterday, 7 days later, the notice popped up that the black ink needed to be replaced. Already? I don't yet have the new ink cartridges. I hope they arrive today! Also, it appears to be a bit slower than my previous HP printer. I'll wait and see.
Have always had HP printers and have never had a bad one. They just keep improving and costing less than the previous one. Had a 6600 and it wore our. Got a 6978 and it is great and under $100 bucks. Easy to set up and help is always available. Only use it for home and is quick, quiet, and reliable.
Upon the first change of print cartridges (HP), the color deteriorated until only one faded color was coming up. I have departed for the winter in AZ so I can't work with it. I am very unhappy.
Pros: Affordable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
