HP photosmart 8250?? run out of ink so fast.
Dear all,
My HP photosmart 8250 runs out of ink so fast. I just print around ten 4x6 " images and it runs out of yellow ink. Also I see the cartridge in this printer is rather small. Is it common in HP8250??? perhaps I cannot use this printer to print pictures anymore since I don't want to pay a lot of money for just a few pictures. |

No, this is not common, it sounds like your printer has an issue. The Photosmart 8250 is rated at 170 4x6 photo's for the yellow cartridge. See http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/...200/photo.html for yield data for this printer, or see http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/us/en/index.html for HP page yield information for other recent HP printers. If you really are getting ten 4x6 prints I would call HP for warranty service. In the US call 1-800-HPINVENt for warranty service. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging |

HP photosmart 8250?? run out of ink so fast.
Hello Bob,
I guess the wrong usage of type of paper might be a reason. I used normal papers which we often use for Laser printers and the ink ran out so fast. I just installed new cartridges and use the photo papers which HP recommends for inkjet printers and it is fine now. I have printed around 20 prints and ink is still okie. What do you think, Bob?

If you are printing with the paper type set to "Automatic" the printer would recognize the paper type and adjust automatically. Plain paper actually uses *less* ink than photo papers, so if anything you should get much more than the rated 170 4"x6" prints from the yellow cartridge if you were printing on plain paper. You may have had a bad cartridge or it may have been improperly installed. If you get similar results with this cartridge I would call HP for warranty service, 1-800-HPINVENt.
