Deskjet Review

I have bought a hp deskjet j210 printer. When the black ink ended i refilled it from the shop. now when i put it on my printer it shows the previous ink level (not full). So how to reset the ink level? I have the (802 small) cartridges

that is your pc ink level is impty so you insert you deskjet paint than refiling ok

I just bought a new HP printer (Deskjet Ink Advantage 2010 – K010a). My CD drive isn’t working, so I was thinking, is there a downloadable installer for my printer? Please provide specific details. Thanks!

P.S. My computer has Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit.

you can download the installer from the hp website, all you have to do is type it into google, although if you are not bothered by all the extra useless features that they throw into the program and all you want to do is print, then you should be able to just connect the printer to your computer and it will work. Windows has many printer drivers preinstalled.

Here is a link to the drivers and software to download. (If you want the software)

Good Luck

I printed an image onto a transparency sheet from a deskjet printer. The ink just rubs off. Is there something I could put over it to keep that from happening?

Make sure you buy transparency sheets designed for inkjet printers and not just any transparency sheets.

I have a HP 845c deskjet printer. The printer takes a 15 black ink cartage and a 17 tri-color cartage. However, this 17 cartage cannot be found in stores. You can find a 15 black 75 tri-color joint package at the local businesses. Would this 75 tri-color cartage be compatible for my 17 ink cartage.

These are the model printers that the no 75 will fit. HP Deskjet D4260, D4360 / HP Photosmart series C4240, C4250, C4280 , C4285, C4345, C4350, C4380, C4385, C4440, C4450, C4480, C4580, C5225, C5240, C5250, C5280, D5345, D5360, C5580 / HP Officejet J5750, J5780, J6480. So no the 75 is not compatible with your printer.

I have a HP 845c deskjet printer. The printer takes a 15 black ink cartage and a 17 tri-color cartage. However, this 17 cartage cannot be found in stores. You can find a 15 black 78 tri-color joint package at the local businesses. Would this 78 tri-color cartage be compatible for my 17 ink cartage.

The 78 and 17 are not cross compatible.

However the good news is that Number 17 cartridges are very easy to find in a remanufactured brand.
The 17 can also be refilled fairly easily.

It is a great printer to hold onto, as far as I know HP is still making the number 17 cartridges, however they are very old printers and not very common so the cartridge will be difficult to find.

Is an Ink jet printer the same as a deskjet printer? The paper I am wanting to order says it has to be an inkjet or a laser printer I have a deskjet.Thanks
I am wanting to print temporary tattoos from my deskjet. The Special paper calls for inkjet or laser.

They are the same. Just called differently. For your deskjet, you need inkjet paper. Laser paper is smoother and not good for deskjets because it may smudge.

For many small businesses, the most costly part of their office supply budget comes in the form of ink purchases.

Printers have become smaller, faster, and more efficient in the amount of processing they can handle. Printers are at an all time low cost; its now effective to have several printers in one office to keep up with demand.

Yet the high cost of printer ink seems to be at an all time high. If you’ve been contemplating the best way to lower your printing costs, maybe its time to consider changing the way you purchase your ink supplies.

Over $21 million worth of ink jet cartridges are sold each month throughout the United States. And a majority of them are purchased at full retail through office supply stores. However, as a consumer, you have many other options.

Thanks to the Internet, the days of purchasing at full retail have diminished greatly. Using simple online tools, you can easily go to the search engines and find your best options. Head over to Google and you’re sure to find a variety of resources for ink jet cartridges and other toner supplies.

One way that is guaranteed to save you money is to recycle your ink jet cartridges. Recycling your ink jet cartridge allows you to save up to 70 percent off the retail price, and provides you with a way of keeping the cartridge out of the landfills.

With recycling, most companies make it a smooth and easy process. They provide you with a prepaid mailer, in which you place your empty ink jet cartridge and drop it into the mail. Within ten days, you receive a refurbished and refilled cartridge, ready to place back into your printer. Most companies offer you the option of returning one cartridge at a time, or the option of having a business plan in which you can return six to twelve ink jet cartridges at a time. Either way, the process is convenient and easy, and allows you to manage your ink supply without having to make special emergency trips to the store.

A recycling program works well for home businesses because it allows you to have access to ink jet cartridges easily at a greatly reduced cost. By having two cartridges in play at any time, you’ll always have one to rely on while the other is in the mail being refurbished and refilled. And being able to save as much as 70 percent on your overall printing costs can add a lot to your bottom line.

Every home office has the same needs. Whether you use your home office for paying bills and occasional correspondence, or you use your home office for business or career, chances are you use a lot of paper and a lot of printer ink.

Paper and toner are probably not things we spend a lot of time thinking about, until we run out of one in the middle of a project. Then it’s off to the store to purchase, usually without a thought on price or convenience. We need it for a project, so we make the purchase.

Yet with a little time and planning, you could easily save hundreds of dollars a year. Consider these facts:
– Over $21 million worth of ink jet cartridges are sold each month throughout the United States. – Over 95 percent of these ink jet cartridges will end up in the landfill.

Consumers have three options when deciding how to keep their printer filled with ink.

1. Purchase a new ink jet cartridge from a local retail location. As with other industries, when you wait to make a purchase when you need the product, you will usually pay a premium price. Retail stores are there for convenience, and offer you the maximum price for the ease.

2. Refill your existing ink jet cartridges. Many retail stores are offering this option. You simply bring in your existing cartridges, and refill them with the appropriate ink color. This still offers you the convenience of immediate purchase, but it can also be messy.

3. Purchase recycled ink jet cartridges. Recycling your ink jet cartridge allows you to save up to 70 percent off the retail price, and provides you with a way of keeping the cartridge out of the landfills. Recycling does take more time, and isn’t an instant process, but the savings makes it worth it.

With recycling, most companies offer you the ability to mail in your cartridges to a company location. The company will refurbish the cartridge, refill it, and send it back to your location. The process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of days, depending on the mail and your location.

The best way to stay prepared for printing emergencies is to have two cartridges in place within your office system. When one cartridge runs out of ink, you send it in, and have a spare ready for printing.

i’m tired of buying new ink cartridges for my hp photo printer. the only refill kits that i see are ones for inkjet printers. can i use this kit or is there a kit for deskjet printers

Ink cartridges are deliberately designed not to allow refilling. This is for good reason. In addition to the chip which knows that the cartridge was empty and wont work unless it is reprogrammed (and some do not allow resetting), an empty cartridge starts to develop ink clots because the residue was exposed to air. When you add new ink, those clots travel to the heads and block them. Refilling is a great way to kill your printer. Every day there are several messages here from people who found out the hard way. There are also messages from people who haven’t learned yet and figured if it didnt happen yet, it won’t. If you want to save money, buy brand new (not remanufactured) compatible cartridges.

With a computer printer sitting on most office desks – both at home and at the office – most users have come to understand the role of the printer toner. But, in most cases, the extent of our knowledge is limited to knowing when and how the printer toner cartridge must be changed. And change it we do, without having any real understanding of how it functions within our printer.

Printer toner contains the ink – whether in liquid or powder form – that allows our computer documents to come to life so that we may hold them in our hand. When we choose the print option from our computer, a signal is sent to the printer, and ink – of all necessary colors – is released onto our papers reproducing exactly the document we constructed on our computer.

Each printer comes equipped with compatible printer toner. Depending on the volume with which we print, the printer toner will have to be changed periodically or more frequently. In this case, we purchase replacement printer toner – which in many a case can be an expensive proposition.

Of course when replacing the printer toner most people turn to the printer manufacturer. The specific printer toner that is compatible with your printer comes with a product number that will help you easily and conveniently locate a replacement. While this can be a more pricey option then purchasing a generic alternative, you are sure to get the quality that your printer needs. Lower quality printer toner, while always less expensive, can seriously clog and damage your printer.

That is not to say, however, that you can not find quality printer toner at reasonable prices. There are generic brands that offer superior quality at a more affordable cost. The key is ensuring that you are dealing with a reputable company that will stand behind the products they sell.

Printer toner is an inevitable part of printer ownership. Take your time to learn what works and what prices you can find so that you affordably address your printer needs.
