Bring the new printer to Staples and trade it in for $50 toward buying another HP. Do not forget to take the ink cartridges out, $3 each recycling at Staples.
Thanks just purchased and the code took $10 off, making total with shipping $79.99 I got an email with the promo code, if you are not on the email list then I don't think you can use the code.
In for 1 as well. What does the trade in printer have to include in the box that you're sending back? Would they have taken a printer that's missing the power block? I got a cheapo Canon one at the local thrift shop for 2 bucks that's complete but they had a big HP printer for $7.50 but it was missing the power adapter (did have the 6 cartridges--could've used those at Staples).

Don't worry about any power block. As a matter of fact, they tell you not to send any accessories with the printer.

Please explain, why would you take the new printer to Staples for $50 credit???

I think he's figuring on using the "discounted" printer at Newegg ($50 credit) towards a more expensive one at Staples. Another thought assuming you already have a "working" 8000/8500 printer (that you're keeping)...buy a second one, scavenge the cartridges and heads from it (keep them, obviously), then trade the pieced-out printer in at Staples for a third one (this assuming it goes on sale again, obviously it's not this week).

That seems backwards to me! why not just take the old printer that you are using for the $50 trade in and bring that to Staples instead of this backwards plan...
much better to take and recycle directly to odepott or sttaples OR be prepared to email, call and recall to get the multi step hpp send in $50 recycle rebate
QUICKAVE said:much better to take and recycle directly to odepott or sttaples OR be prepared to email, call and recall to get the multi step hpp send in $50 recycle rebate What are you talking about? We've used the HP trade in program multiple times with our business, and there is no calling. If you can read, you can get your $50 rebate from HP. And they will pay the freight costs. Its actually very simple. Ok, you have to send one email.... I guess that's asking a lot from someone to get $50 back (give me a beak man).
Good price until you need ink, and then the burn begins.
i picked up a cheapish $7 printer and goodwill computer works to trade into Office Depot, but after exhaustive research the last few days, I've concluded that it's not worth it get a new color AIO, particularly inkjet. HP 6500, HP8500, Epson Workforces, Artisans, etc. Most, if not alll inkjets require you to use color, even in B&W printing, and no printer will simply do straight up black monochrome like my current HP Laserjet 1000 or my previous HP Photosmart... could go monochrome AIO laser but than you lose features like a decent scanner or auto duplex, or wireless.
All in all, I think it's such a crock of sh1t, this revenue retention regression in tech.
So you buy a high capacity blank cartridge and the the printer manufacturers boast a high page yield and competitive price per pg. to comparative laser printer... but then, lo and behold, you have to replace the cyan, magenta, and yellow 2-4 times before you get through the black.
A fair non $ gouging printer would allow to completely shut off cyan, magenta, and yellow unless printing a photo, better yet, not even require anything but black cartridge for printer to function period.
/end of rant
sorry, this is just bothersome to me. I think I'll be sticking with my 2500 pages per toner HP LJ 1000 for a wee bit longer, as much as I'd like a full featured AIO.

exxxxactly.... ALL INKS need to pass WHATEVER the HP NEW "fill level" requirement is....ONE THAT TAKES just ENOUGH color from EACH color cart to print EACH B/W page!! ....and if you get one large black one and another goes out WELLL just like the good ole XMAS LIGHTS you need to get the others....only worse.... the PRINTER BECOMES USELESS as NOT EVEN b/w is ALLOWED till you pay up for more color ones that STILL have some ink in them!! .... and the rebatte as mentioned email, fax,most likely call, then re- send letter.. then hope it comes it will if you follow up to 5months..... hakujin said:Good price until you need ink, and then the burn begins.

Umm, if you do a little more checking you will find out that HPs default settings on these print black text using color inks, but you can go into the printer properties and force all black ink.... at least on the 8000 and 8500 models. I do it all the time. I seriously got 2000 pages out of a black XL cart on my HP 8500 last month. These models are the best kept secret in inkjets right now. They're ultra fast in B&W mode to... smokes my old HP laserjet. And the HP "XL" black ink carts for these last as long or LONGER than most HP brand B&W laser printer toners. Only way I'm seeing the HP lasers coming out on top is if you buy the "compatible" off-brand toners from discount shops. And I quit doing that after getting a batch of really poor quality toners with worn out drums in them (for the HP 1018 series). The 940 inks used in these inkjets are only available from HP at the moment.
