Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Despite using a setting to print black & white only this HP printer model is designed to mix in a color anyway. Printer cartridges have a chip that can prevent the HP 7740 from printing. When the cartridge chips decide it is time to buy more cartridges I couldn't print a thing. I owned this HP printer for only six months and nearly spent the price of the printer for cartridge replacements because the printer wouldn't work without all colors newly installed. I can still hear ink splashing around in the so called empty cartridges but had to buy more to keep the printer operating. I have replaced this HP ink jet printer with a laser printer that is not an HP brand. Based on my low home use level and the absence of printer controlling chips, I expect to work uninterrupted. Too bad, I was a long term HP product user.
