I have an HP Photosmart Plus. Ink is ****ing expensive. I can't afford the 11 bucks or whatever apiece for a black cartridge and then 3 colored ones. So I just got the black one and figured I could just print black and white photos. Oh no....can't do that. Apparently, B&W photos are not printed with black ink at all, but a combination of all the colored inks. WTF!!!!!! |

Welcome to inkjet. There's a reason they practically give the printers away. Have you tried going into the printer options, and forcing it to B&W there? |

I bought my mom a Photosmart somethingorother. After a year or two of hearing her complain about having to replace the ink cartridges, sometimes twice in the same month, I bought her a B&W laser printer. AFAIK she doesn't even use the color printer anymore. She only cares about printing b&w documents. I'm just going to buy laser printers from now on. It's more expensive up front, but it's less hassle in the long run. |

Yes, this is the route I've gone, too, Moo. I realized I virtually never use color, and B&W lasers are pretty affordable. Supplies for it are much cheaper, and the toner cartridges last for-frickin-ever in comparison, to boot. |

http://www.printertonerwarehouse.com/HP ... 15427.html 3 color starter refill kit is about $14, starter black is $11 And, I second the laser printer suggestion. I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n and love it. |

Yeah....the laser printer sounds like a good idea. (BTW Kaffis...I couldn't find anything that forced it to print with just the black ink...there is a shortage of options with this printer.) I just find it convenient to be able to print photos every now and then or other things that I might need for the kids' school stuff. |

Ink jet cartridges tend to dry out without use pretty quickly too.  I've found that in a roundabout fashion it's actually cheaper for me to print out stuff for school at home than to use the "free" $15/semester I get in printing on campus, just to avoid the ink drying up.Nothing but hate for ink jets! |

I love my b&w laser printer. Sometimes, it would be nice to be able to do color, but I tend to do those at work. |
