Printer advice

hp printers have the most expensive ink of all printers, the most economical is cannon and epson so i suggest if you looking to keep costs down look at those brands.

that being said it may not have the best print quality if it uses less costly ink.

if keeping cost down is the most important then shop in reverse, find a brand that has cheap replacement ink cartridges then see what printers they are used on. then from that list look to see if you like any of those printers and if they are affordable to you, if not then select another ink cartridge and look at the printers that those are used on. this method will give you the most affordable printer and the cheapest cost of replacement ink.

personally i use the refillable ink cartridges like these: http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/catalog/Our-Epson-Refill-Kits-orderby0-p-1-c-4.html

 

Printer Ink Notification

Hello Eleanore,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

If your printer produces blurry, faint, or incomplete printouts, it might be low on ink or toner. Many printers provide status about ink or toner levels directly on the device. To find out, refer to your owner's manual or go to the printer manufacturer's
website.

Some printers can inform Windows about how much ink or toner is remaining. Here's how to check:

1. Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button, type Devices and Printers and select same from the list.

2. Click a printer.

If the printer is designed to provide ink or toner status, the information should appear in the status area at the bottom of Devices and Printers. You can also double-click a printer to see more information about that printer.

If your ink or toner cartridge needs to be replaced, check your owner's manual or go to the printer manufacturer's website. The company that made your printer knows the best way to change an ink or toner cartridge for your specific model.

Hope this will address your query.

 

Printer Ink Level Status


Since upgrading to Windows10 from Windows7, I no longer get the printer in level status that I did before the upgrade.
I have an Epson NX420 Stylus printer. Previously, every time something was printed, the ink level pop up screen appeared. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.
