        I had nothing but issues with aftermarket (compatible) ink cartridges off eBay not working on a HP Officejet printer that it was supposedly compatible with according to the eBay page details. I'd try an actual proper aftermarket such as that Calidad.

        HP, if you are connected, can update your software to defeat any new hacks. My cartridges were full and working fine, then they failed. My son who had the same printer also found his "failed" around the same time.

        Buying new counterfeit cartridges then wouldn't work, giving same error.

        Based on their own refill costs this is not a printer worth buying, and given they seem to actively try to keep you to their cartridges I dont think its a bargain.

    You can supposedly top-up the ink with a syringe before it runs out, with HPs.

    But I really don't know why people bother with inkjets, now that colour lasers (and after-market toner) are so cheap.
    This inkjet does better photos, but still not real photo quality. If you want that, go to your local shops and get much better quality photo prints for very little cost.
    99% of the time, the laser does the job.

        absolutely, gone are the days when you could top up. the software if it coud sense the amount of ink, would just say, hey its now got more than it had before, so it rejects this. The HP even knows which cartridges have been used before, and tells you so.

  And they say it is 50% cheaper to run than a laser. Interesting

  I like these - I have a 8620 and 8630 - both done a lot of prints and the head went on the newer of the two. According to what I can see you can only get heads from US and the cost is at least $140 - so the get a printer, head and even the starter cartridges for this price is great - ordering now…

  Bought one! Thanks OP. Added a pack of A4 paper to make it $150.50 then applied $25 voucher!

  OCD Completionist on 30/12/2015 - 17:56

  Sorry if this sounds stupid as I know nothing about printers and have a rather old one which only uses 2 cartridges.
  So for this one I have to actually replace all 4 cartridges(Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) at $50 or so a pop or it wont work? Is that right?
  Thanks

    Remember that Ink Jet printers can CLEAN HEADS/JETS
    Using YOUR ink… Factor the cost of "cleaning the heads"
    into your costs… :-/

  I can confirm that most late model HP printers can detect and therefore reject aftermarket as well as refilled ink cartridges.

  Bought one. Don't forget the AMEX offer if you have other stuff to buy to get the total up to 350.

  But hmmmmm: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2608255/officejet-pro…

  Sounds like they updated firmware. Mine is going to be permanently blocked from accessing the internet :-D

  But the refilling folk are enterprising, sounds like they already worked around it: https://shop.re-inks.com/blog/hp-ink-cartridges/firmware-upd…

  EDIT:

  They even hacked and cloned the chip protecting the cartridge: https://support.bchtechnologies.com/hc/en-us/articles/200605…

  Here's an interesting comment:

  "My wife prints her Altrusa Clup International news letter on this machine. Also used as vehicle for ESL teaching materials. About 30 days ago, there was a firmware upgrade to this HP 8620. From that point on, the machine will NOT use any ink cartridges except those manufactured by HP and then those are intermittantly accepted by this machine. It was turned of one night in August, 2015, and when turned on, asked that an UP-GRADE be installed. I did so and when completed the LED said all four cartridges were not HP, and then said they were damaged. It constantly gives Damaged cartridge error and refuse all printing unless original HP cartridges are used. I have replaced ALL cartridges with both 3rd party and with HP cartridges with no results on the 3rd party ink and intermittant results on the HP ink. I have purchased four HP printers over the last 10 years, this is the LAST one!"

  tl;dr

  1) Do NOT update the firmware and ideally block off internet access for the printer.
  2) Keep faith in the refill-hackers, they are an enterprising bunch!
