A real ink guzzler? or just puny cartridges?,

We got these printers in our office with the new laptops....we have shared laser printers so our IT didn't want us using less economical ink jets, but I thought what the hey, I'll pay for my own ink to have it at my desk.
...BAD idea!!
I blew through the first set of cartridges in just three weeks...and maybe 100-150 pages! NOT PHOTOS, regular pages! (well, maybe THREE photos in the mix!)
I thought perhaps the cartridges that came with the machines were "samples"....ie, not full capcity, but it says right on the cartidge "standard yield"!!
So I fished another set of cartridges out of one of the other printer boxes...same thing!
The thing is, the PRINTER, aka "Hal", tells you when you are out of ink...Thank you Hal!Copy quality was just fine in both cases, but it wouldn't allow any further printing until I put new cartridges.
And get this...I can't just keep it to use the scanner!!! Without with out cartridges it deems...Read more

Not a good buy,

Got this printer almost two years ago. Easy to set up. Nice features, compact and quiet.
It's after using it for awhile that I've come to be exceptionally disappointed.
-- Ink has always run out fast. After keeping closer tabs I realized I'm barely getting a 1/2 ream of paper printed before I have to replace the black cartridge. Opened the printer up and can see a pool of ink collecting inside the printer! (Note: I'm using Dell cartridges.)
-- Wifi connectivity works terribly. Have to usually walk to the printer, unplug, replug in to get it to show up on the network.
-- Now, black ink has stopped printing almost entirely even with new Dell cartridges. All Dell recommended steps to clean have done nothing to fix it.
Don't purchase this printer.

This printer is a piece of trash. It used way too much ink and it never consistently worked with my netgear network. Good luck trying to get tech support. Finally, it didn't take long for the print quality to dramatically deteriorate---I guess because of the print heads. It doesn't matter because I'm throwing this junk out and will never buy a Dell printer again. I have had much greater success with HP and Epson.
