    I wish they would mention how many prints from the starter ink cartridges.

    • +6

      What's in the box
      HP DeskJet 2130 All-in-One Printer
      HP 63 Setup Black Ink Cartridge (~110 pages)
      HP 63 Setup Tri-color Ink Cartridge (~100 pages)
      No CD Flyer
      Setup Poster
      Power cord
      USB cable

      • +1

        Power cord and USB cable included? Noice!

        • +2

          That's great, I actually need a new USB Cable

  • +6

    Plus $80 for ink.

    HP 63 Setup Tri-color Ink Cartridge (~100 pages)

    At 5% coverage? Just a bit of text, no images or backgrounds.
    More like ten pages of artwork.

      lol was about to ask how much ink was.

    • +1

      The pack with both black and tri-colour is $79.93.
      https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/hp-63-ink-…

      The black on its own is $27.28
      https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/hp-63-ink-…

      Colour on its own is $35.58
      https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/hp-63-ink-…

      So $62.86, not $80.

      Still not that great a bargain.

        Negging this deal because the ink price is 4-5 times the cost of the printer and this pricing behaviour is deceptive and unsustainable. Full size ink cartridges should not be allowed to be sold for more than half the cost of the printer. How many of these things get used 10 times and dumped into landfill. I’ll probably get heavily negged for this comment but whatever.

        • +2

          It's an honest comment and should not get negged.

          • +2

            @benx: People tend to neg comments attached to neg deal votes.
            ie when they disagree with the vote, not so much the comment.
            Still not nice, when the post has valid reasons for saying it is a bad deal. Even if you disagree.

            I only even post a printer deal if I can also link to decent-priced consumables. Maybe it should be a rule?

          • @benx: I'd neg the comment for this:

            Full size ink cartridges should not be allowed to be sold for

            No thanks, we don't need more nannying.

        • +1

          Also the cost of production of ink is less than $1. Not worth getting scammed on ink, better to get an continuous ink tank printer.

      • +1

        If you don't do a lot of printing and after a little wifi inkjet you'd probably do better with something like the HP2623. Can be had for $40, though think I paid $25, and the HP65 ink is on average $20 for colour or B/W. The ink can often be found for less such as $34 for both.

        Bohdud is spot on and the printer market calls for one to be conscientious. Another useful link is the HP ink cashback located HERE, which gives you a chance to buy certain ink cartridges in bulk effectively at half price, including XL capacities.

        • +1

          Don't quite agree. If you don't do a lot of printing like my last couple printers, the black got clogged and no amount of Deep Cleaning got it ever working again. I have multiple MFC inkjets that can no longer print in black. Handing homework in dark blue… but sometimes needed colour :(

    It has AirPrint support and printing via an app for iOS. 99% sure

      = 100% wrong!

  • +1

    100% sure it's doesn't have any AirPrint or Google print. It's a wired model.

  • Good find OP.

  • +1

    Any other good contenders in the efficient and budget printer category?

    In the realm of printing I wonder what is the equivalent of the gtx 1060 or just best bang for buck even in the long term.

    • +4

      what is the printer equivalent of the gtx 1060

      Haha thanks for the lols

    • The RX 580.

    • -1

      It depends on how much printing you will do. Cheapest high capacity inkjet I've seen is the Brother A3 Inkjet MFC Printer MFC-J5330DW, $209 at Officeworks. The black cartridge does 3000 pages for about $70. The 3 colours are about $45 each for 1500 pages.

  • +2

    This is surprisingly quick to print. Picked up for $28 as an interim printer until getting a better one and honestly, it does the job.

    I only use it for shipping labels and the occasional document and so far I've done about 50 pages on the Black starter ink.

    • Todes Angst below says it prints a full colour page every time it's turned on saying no updates available and you can't disable it.

      Is yours doing that?

      • +1

        Nope. Sounds like a PC error / user error

  • -4

    $15 for 110 pages doesn't seem like much of a bargain.

  • Does anyone know how much power these draw ?.

    • Not enough to even bother concerning yourself with.

      Even if it drew 2000W (it doesn't) it'd be irrelevant because it's only printing for a few seconds per page.

  • Question to ask is can the scanning function be used when ink is empty?

    • +1

      yes

    Searching the Officeworks site for
    "Limit: X per customer" I found this 3TB hard drive for $99

  • Edit…. Already answered.

  • Any good deals on laser printers.

    Will the cheap compatible or cartridges on ebay work. Is it possible to refill ?

  • Thanks op, needed one after my scanner broke. Been using cam scanner on my phone which is not very professional looking for sending legal documents.

  • +6

    I had one of these and it was honestly the worst printer experience of my life. It is factory setup to use as much ink as possible doing useless shit. Every time you turn these on they print a full page "info sheet" in color saying that there is no bios updates or software updates at this time. EVERY time you turn the Printer on. You also can't disable this. Buyer beware.

    • That's well worth knowing. Thank you.

    • +1

      You need to update the driver/software to latest version, then check settings..

      On many HP printers there is an advanced setting to Calibrate every time it's powered up. after calibration it will print a status page… so you need not not have that option switched on.

  • +1

    This is a very cheap yet great quality scanner

    • I wonder if it will allow you to scan when it runs out of ink…?

      • It works, I didn't even plug the cartridges and scanner is working well! Damn great bargain for 1200dpi scanner

  • +5

    not really a bargain when the ink is more expensive than the printer.

    this is pretty much the reason why so many just get dumped.

    why would you bother paying for replacement ink when you can get a new printer for less than half the cost.

    negging the deal on the fact that this does more damage to the environment

  • +1

    Totally worth if you want a temporary photocopier and a long term scanner. For printing, not worth due to cartridge costs. Thank you OP

  • Unfortunately that's how it works now. They offer cheap printers to lock you into their inks, which is much more expensive. This is how they make their money. Most people stay on and continue to buy the inks, while some will dump the printers.

    I haven't done the maths but I wouldn't be surprised if it's cheaper to buy a replacement cheap printer when the starter ink runs out - especially if these printers are on sale. Might be worth it just for the scanning/fax functionality only!

  • I have a laser printer that suits my purposes, but this is a decent deal just for the scanner function. Might buy it just for that.

  • Thanks, got it :)

  • Was hoping that this cheap printer could print 6x4in cards. Whilst the specs say it does and you can feed multiple cards in the feeder what OW website doesn't reveal is the Print Area capabilities. Unfortunately this printer bottom margin is at a whopping 1.45cm. May not sound much but when you print on small media particularly photos that's a big chunk of wasted space. Sent mine back for a refund.
