How to use HP 801 Series cartridges to another Hp Printer. Which Printer is useful for the Hp 801 Series Cartridges .
Cartridge Nos. are as follows 1. HP-801 Black-C8721Z,, Yellow-C8773Z, Light Magenta -C8775Z,Light Cyan-C8774Z, Magenta- C8772Z, Cyan-C8771Z

Indeed my c6188 printer guzzles colour ink (even when colour printing is not being used).
After using the c6188 for NON-colour printing for over two months, I was surprised to suddenly see the printer warning that one of the colour ink catridges was low.
The efficiency of the black catridge seems to be OK (may be because I am using the “Fast Draft” option). I use “Fast Draft” option for every day printing (OK quality) and “Fast Normal” option for formal letters, etc.

Using the “Fast Draft” option rattles the whole printer (and the table that I have kept it on, also :0). I am saving a lot of ink but am I damaging the printer in the process? Please share you view.

Also, how come my colour ink got depleted although I not made any colour print-outs in the last two months?

Thanks,
Sudhir

Anand,
Yes other than the color cartridge levels, I also don’t have any other complaint on this printer…

I am even putting the scanner to full use.. However the driver isn’t working that well with windows vista..hope they sort it out soon..

anil, not sure if your point is entirely valid. even if one color cartridge goes out, you can always print using the black cartridge (You need to set the printing preferences properly)

But I do agree on the color cartridge display, it was showing 75% and after few prints, it had dried out !!

HP are thieves. The print cartridges are about 2ml and run out after 6 pages. None of the functionalities will work if even one cartridge is out!!

We should sue them to provide a fix for this. Its only fair that the printer should print with just the black cartridge too. HP support says it cannot be done

Why should we be forced to buy their cartridges for any functionality to work? I would like to throw this printer into their office lobby.

I believe they fix this in the US but take us indians for a ride. THIEVES!

I love the HP Photosmart series. I own one and it does an amazing job.

shiv, yeah i did try out the bluetooth dongle, but it didn’t work, guess have to try out other models or buy the one recommended by HP (its expensive)

Shankar, yeah HP does have a lot of models to meet different needs.. i wanted a photo printer and a scanner (to scan the oldie photos and imp docs) and for some reason thought having a fax would also be nice..

I use a HP Deskjet 3920 at home. Came as a free gift with my PC.
Enough for my needs.

The printer looks good. The best feature about this is the wifi option. Have you installed the bluetooth adapter for this printer?
