I looked at the prices on Amazon, and found that the only substantial cost savings is if I buy the XL cartridges, which are supposed to last longer. So, I guess I would need to count the pages I get from an XL vs regular cartridge. Has anyone ever done that? I wouldn't notice the difference because I scan almost everything, which eliminates the need for most paper and ink. Also, I like it when HP thanks me for using their ink cartridges. I never buy a printer that uses 4 cartridges instead of 2. Seems like a waste of ink for no good reason. Another problem is that no matter what cartridge you buy, they never tell you how much ink is in the cartridge, so there is really no way to compare unless you actually keep track of which cartridge is cheaper to use over time.
