Silly me, bought the wrong (genuine) ink cartridges for my HP Officejet. Since I already opened the packaging, figured I won't be able to return them for a refund, so off to bargain hunting for a compatible printer with the ink cartridges (HP65) and found Officeworks selling this printer for $39 while most eBay stores sell it for around $70.

Just noticed that price has dropped to $29 from $39.

    you still buy genuine HP ink cartridges?

      It's been a long time since I've bought ink cartridges, but aftermarket ones don't seem that much cheaper, and I've had bad experience with them in the past.

      Edit: OK, maybe they're about 50% cheaper, which is not insignificant, but still I would rather pay more to get something that's guaranteed to work properly.

        Epson Ecotank genuine inks cost about $17 per colour and last about 6000 pages.

          What’s a good printer plus scanner that uses these inks?

            @TomGum: I have the ET-2750, but that has been superseeded.

            Have a look through their current range…

            I think the current equivalent is the ET-2850, but that's because I wanted automatic 2-sided printing.

            If you use your printer reasonably often, the savings in ink will pay off the printer very quickly.

          Ive rarely had an epson printer last 600 pages

    I'm pretty sure these are the printers where you need to have a HP account to scan…

    • Dhandoftime on 31/01/2023 - 09:32

      It's very annoying with the HP account. Do you know any trick to bypass this as sometimes i need to scan quickly a document and it starts asking for log in, verifying, loading and blah blah blah

        Easiest way to bypass it is to return it and get a decent brand.

    Will this take non genuine carts?

      I've had an HP printer do a firmware update and ban non gen. I had to downgrade the firmware. Not sure about this particular model.

  • persianoz on 31/01/2023 - 08:11

    I have this one. I like that it is compact and does the job. But the cartridge it comes with is like 10% or something and to replace both you end up paying ~$120 and then just as quickly it runs out.

    I know it is nothing new but it is infuriating when it'll be cheaper to buy a new printer than new cartridge.

    I will wait for a nice, cheap and compact laser…

    • citybargainhunter on 31/01/2023 - 14:11

      Yeah deskjet printers are expensive to run, the yield of the standard cartridges is something like 50 pages only, works out about $1.5-$2 per page.

  • citybargainhunter on 05/02/2023 - 11:53

    Price has gone up t $59
