Put this printer back in use for photos only printed about 40 81/2x11 photos on tricolor cartridge, is this typical?

I have not used my printer for photos, so don't have experience to answer your questions. I would think that with photos of that size, 8 1/2 x 11, that would be typical because of the intense ink usage for photos.

I would not be too surprised that it ran out if you were doing photos of that size. I usually get the 901XL Tri-Color cartridge which will last a lot longer. I got the regular 901 because I was not going to be doing very much color work.

Yes - typical for almost all printers today, the toner supplied was not full retail amount - probably will yield about 1200 pages, depending on color saturation. Very good printer - fast and good color - not bad for photos - does reasonable job though

Mine does the same thing, usually in the middle of printing a photo or multiple pages. I emailed seller for a replacement chip/circuitry/cartridges. They replied saying to press the reset button (which I've done countless times), then they said it was out of warranty and they don't sell just the circuitry. You have to buy the whole kit.

it will depend on the clarity and quality of the original photo, if you have a great photo you get a great picture, should then be able to print to an 8x10

I believe the photo black must be replaced for the printer to work; in my experience if any of the colors are empty the printer shuts down. Be sure and match the symbols so you're uing the correct ink cartridge.

I use regular 8 1/2 x 11 office paper and print mostly text and have never used photo paper. I know it will cost you more but stick with the Canon ink cartridges and you should have no compatibility problems. The printer is compact and I have had no problems with my Canon iP 1800

This printer is better for photos, specifically black and white, mine had major problems after only a few months, just when it came out of warranty

this only prints 4X6 single photo you cannot print four different pictures on the one sheet. My canon printer can do that also.

I printed on 8.5x11" photo paper via the rear paper feed. I didn't try through tray 2, as I did not want to bend the paper. I've had nothing but trouble with this printer, though. Epson is sending me my third printer, as the second one had the same clogged nozzles proble as the first.

I recently printed some photos of my grandkids on glossy-premium photo paper from Office Max and they turned out beautiful. I also printed some 4 x 6 prints. It is relatively easy to adjust the printer to accommodate different sizes, just read the instruction book. I would suggest printing on plain paper every 8 to 10 prints though, just to keep the inks from slight overrun. This would probably be avoided if you got a more matte photo paper. It's a great printer for any project I've tried.

yes, I printed a lot of pictures, around 500 prints on the 4 x 6 inches, and I'm not done yet, hope that answers your question.

HP uses a 5% coverage (ISO/IEC 19752 and 19798) for its testing, so I am guessing a 2600 yield 305A cartridge would give about 130 full 8.5x11 prints.

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.

I can't tell you--the printer was a piece of junk. I did get a replacement-which was also a piece of junk! neither one lasted through a cartridge change.

I have printed in only black and white. Just now, I removed the 3 color cartridges, and it would not print. May be missing something, but I think all the cartridge slots must be filled.

Thanks for getting back to me. My problem is that the small one is the one that is getting empty, and the big one is still as full as when I first bought the printer. I print mostly documents, but don't know how to force the printer to use the big black cartridge. I am thinking of trying selecting "grayscale" more often, to see if that starts drawing down on the big cartridge. I have previously just selected color printing, even if doing only black and white documents.Again, thanks for answering my cry in the wilderness.Cheers!

Exactly same thing happened to me several years ago. It was caused by something dropping on the printer. It was misaligned and the cost of repair was too much. Check with Amazon ,E-bay and other resources for a printer, but i suggest the following: You can buy an HP all in one printer for under $100.00 that does printing, copying, faxing, etc. The best part you can print pictures, any size you want with the same 2 ink cartridges that you use for everything else and they have a 20+ year photo life and look better then the printer dock did. Photo paper is cheap and can be bought anywhere. Cartridges are not expensive as they once were, but you should buy HP ink cartridges only to get the maximum photo life. GOOD LUCK and happy holidays.
