2 cartridges...1 b&w; and 1 color. I buy the x-large ones that run about $30 ea and last longer.

This printer has been wonderful for me and it takes two ink cartridges - black and color (both of them HP #61. I rarely print photos, but the few that I have done were quite acceptable to me as I don't need professional results.

Yes the printer requires having ALL ink cartridges installed (and none empty) to print, if you run out of a color you cannot print (even in black) until the color cartridge is replaced..

Mine is very economical on ink. Not only that, but the 5 cartridge system is very efficient as well...with a combo cartridge you'd have to replace it any time you ran out of an individual color...run out of blue? replace the whole thing. run out of red? replace the whole thing. run out of yellow? replace the whole thing...with 5 cart. sys. you only replace the one that runs out. PLUS you can get ink cartridges for CHEAP on Ebay or Meritline.

It takes HP564 cartridges. You can buy individual colors or a multi pack. The black is available in 2 sizes, standard & XL.

I think that's right. I thought the object of having 3 different color ink cartridges was if one ran out you only had to replace that one. Not all of them. I was a bit disappointed with that.

Yes, you need to buy ink and paper. Tthe ink cartridges only print 40 pictures.

Yes, the printer comes with a complete set of 3 colored and 1 black ink cartridge. This first set of cartridges will not print quite as many pages or photos as future sets will yield, due to the printer requiring ink to 'prime' the delivery tubes for the first time. Consider buying the extended capacity cartridges (#127) for the slightly higher price, the cartridges will last much longer.

You have to have all of the cartridges installed. I do not know of any really good compatibles for this printer yet. Remember, the HP inks are about $105-$115 for the black 970xl and that prints 9200 pages. If you choose to print black only, the colors last indefinately because you are not using them. This is the best HP printer I have owned. I have had many many hp laser printers, and this one blows away the laser printers, and especially the color laser printers.

All four cartridges need to be in place. However, the color ones could be empty and it will still print in black and white.

Does this printer take the extra wide 564XL black ink cartridge #CB321WN? My old HP printer just died and I have a lot of these ink cartridges left over with no way to return them to the seller.

No, you will have 3 color cartridges and 1 black cartridge, so a total of 4 cartridges per printer.

I find the ink usage less than HP's, but unless you step to an MX8XX series, yes, you do need to replace a color cartridge if one of the colors runs out. I've gone months without needing to replace a cartridge though.

Does anyone know how many Black and White pages you can print per B&W; cartridge with the MP830?

It is really difficult to say. While the cartridge is newly installed, it can do about 500 B & W prints in my opinion. But then the ink dries very slowly over a period of time depending upon the heat and humid weather conditions. Regarding color cartridges it is not at all possible to tell. Depends upon size and color nature of the prints. If you can get about 100, consider yourself lucky !

Looking at my HP printer and some old HP printers they will take the large or small cartridge.look at the markings in the printer to install the cartridge. Sorry all I can tell you. g.

I have an HP Photosmart 7520 that takes all 5 cartridges. This includes 2 black cartridges one about twice as large as the other.
