I paid about $100 for it.
It copies, scans, etc.
I need it to do what I do.
The ink thing is a rip-off as if you don't use HP cartridges, it doesn't work that great.
Anyway, I tend to use one black XL cartridge and one regular color cartridge at year so I spend about $35 or so for the ink.
I have an office supply place nearby that charges .10 cents a page and they are only open on certain days at certain times.
So, its worth it for me to be able to do what I need to do for $35 year.
If I needed to print more, I guess I'd have to find another option.
As it now stands, this printer only prints (no more copy/scan) with Windows 10 even after installing the updates for Windows to to it.
I'm stuck needing a computer with Windows 7 on it to use it for the foreseeable future it seems, hence my question re: printer issues.
