How long does this printer take to print a simple business letter or a web page. I do not want ink to dry out if I go a week between art prints.Thanks

I am sorry. I don't know. I got rid of it last month and bought a HP Officejet Pro X451. For the printing jobs I am doing (very little photo) I like it a lot better. It zooms!

It's not a fast printer, maybe 10 seconds? I don't use it for ordinary letters or pages, as that is a waste of archival quality ink. The ink doesn't seem to go dry and it is months between my uses. I usually let it do a cleaning or something like that after a long dry spell, and all is good. The trick to having this printer print on heavy card stock or art paper, which the feed often refuses to load, is to use a bit of scotch tape to clean the lint/paper fuzz off the grey rubber roller that picks up the paper.

Don't know how long to print, but I routinely leave off for a week and everything is great when I start again. So, as the song goes, don't worry be happy.

Time to print a page varies, but it is not fast, compared to other printers. Some of the time is used for the printer to "get ready" once the command is given. I printed once or twice a month and the ink was fine. It's the paper handling that is a problem with this printer. 20-24 lb bond paper works fine. Card stock will cause a hiccup.

It only prints 1 page at a time on W7, not continuous printing. I installed XP on my 2nd hard drive, and it prints perfectly. So, no to W7, but ok with XP!!!

Sorry, I just bought this a few weeks ago, the printer is about 4 years old now. I have been printing daily with this cartridge and wanted to not have to deal with replacing it for a long time.

To be completely honest, I have no idea. We don't use this printer everyday. It has worked fine, but wouldn't know if I had to use often. Still working after months of use. Hope this helps.

I only use this printer to print construction prints and details, in B&W; only, mostly on fast speed. In this case I have been very happy with the amount of prints I have gotten. I'm not sure how many I've printed, but it's been quite a few and I am just now needing to change the black cartridge. I have no idea in regards to color prints.

I am not 100% how many pages that 100cc will print but I can tell you I am an artist and I use this machine everyday for my archival prints. I bought this back in September and haven't run out of ink yet. I couldn't find the refill on amazon so I ordered it from here..http://www.inkowl.com/index.php?p=product&q;=r2000&product;=6282 It's a little more expensive than the other stuff but it's much better quality.. this will last me probably 6 months printing daily.

The answer depends on whether the printer is connected directly to your PC or if the printer is on a network. The network speed will be a major factor in the printing speed.

One thing, though that I should have mentioned. I wouldn't buy this printer unless I owned stock in an ink company. It burns through ink like crazy and won't work if even one cartridge is empty. It burned through an entire magenta cartridge printing out a 40 odd page black and white document, or most of it, without the magenta I couldn't finish printing said document. I've probably printed out about 6-7 documents (including two of the 40 odd page black and white), mostly single test documents, and already have 10 empty cartridges ready to be recycled. I just added more ink, but I don't expect it to last long. I did not recommend this printer even though I've had good luck with Epson in the past. One thing, though that I should have mentioned.

Interesting question. I find that after I print on the disc, it's immediately dry! But I don't trust that, so I just leave it alone for an hour or two, maybe even longer, but it seems as if it's dry right away.

I have it for about a year and don't have any problems. I am not a heavy user though. Some times I don't use the printer for a couple of weeks. But when I use it after that gap, it prints fine. I have not kept track of the total pages I have printed.

If you do not use the printer on a regular basis, the printheads will tend to dry out. I try to print out at least a full page of text every day, and a full page color picture every week. I haven't had any problems since I started doing that. If you have the HP Web services, you can get crossword puzzles, etc., delivered to your networked printer every day and that helps, too.

It's entirely dependent on your coverage. We print fairly larger composite images probably 5 times a week, and we change out ink maybe every six months.

Most new printers come with a "starter" cartridge. My starter cartridge lasted for 1100 pages (mostly text with some light graphics). Time interval is not the right metric here - if you print a ream of paper a day the starter cartridge will be exhausted in a couple of days. Some printers have a check counter or page counter function that will display the total number of pages - look at your printer's documentation to see if yours has one and how to access it - it might be a better indicator of the cartridge usage.

Not that I can say. It sounds like you may not use your printer in a daily basis. I have a client who has this printer and they use it a lot. I have one in my office and it might go maybe three days in between uses. I have not noticed any issues with the ink. One thing - in wise that I really like about this machine is the ink doesn't runon the page if the page gets wet where most ink jets do. This machine has great functions that ar very user friendly.

I use this printer at my workroom and will not be back till Monday. Give you an answer then.

I do not print a lot nor do I use a wireless printer at this time, so I am not yet qualified to recommend one. When I buy a wireless printer in the future, I will do a lot of research. Good luck.

I just got my printer a week ago. It sucks ink like a pig! I just printed a print ink report and only after 177 prints, mostly black and white copies, I am on my third set of all color cartridges. I weighed one of them, there was only one tenth of an ounce of ink in the yellow cart! That is $120 an ounce for each cartridge! HELP! I am looking for ways to save color ink. Can I turn off color for general internet web site printing? Does it take more ink to print borderless prints? Anyone else have this problem? I hate to take it back and get my old Epson back. bob
