    Dear friends, sorry for the long delay, but I haven't made a decision yet. I am torn between your hints and a printer I could get for nothing (HSBC Rewards). I will tell you about the outcome!

    Opinions on HP 2135

    Off-topic: yes, I am loyal to HP even before they produced printers and x86 computers, even before my HP34 calculator. The very desktop I am writing this with is a heavy HP-Compaq D530, working since 2006, my wife had an identical one until a lightning stroke killed it. But through your opinions...

    Opinions on HP 2135

    Redbrickman, The Hat: the Canon Maxify MB5150 seems to be a heavy duty machine, for office use, and prices I found abroad (it doesn't exist here) are more than twice the local price for a HP or Epson. My need is modest, occasionally a few pages a day. And when the cartridges eventually cease to...

    The Hat, Redbrickman, Flyboy, many thanks for your points of view! My very 1st printer was a Canon 1000, worked good but that *particular* model accepted one black OR one colour cartridge and simulated black by mixing CMY. When the cartridges wore out I purchased a HP4180, keeps working like...

    hp deskjet 3050 j610 'incompatible tri color cartridge'?

    PeterBJ, the document covering the Tap 41 Diagnostic Test stated that an "Incompatible" error could not be bypassed in order to be able to diagnost the cartridge. So I emptied my savings account and purchased one more tricolor. The error remained!!! And I was sure I had set the region correctly...

    hp deskjet 3050 j610 'incompatible tri color cartridge'?

    As the Black 122 did not last enough after refills, I installed a continuous system myself. - Tired of not being able to avoid the 'carriage jam' I had it reinstalled where I bought it, with new cartridges. - Printed Ok 6 sheets, turned it off, turned it on 2 days after and now always shows...
