</head><body text="#000000">I've had an HP OfficeJet Pro 9018 for the
past several years. (I think the 9018 is a 9010-series unit packaged to
be sold at Costco, where I bought it). It is the most rock-solid,
maintenance-free printer/all-in-one I've ever owned.<br>
<br>
I did NOT sign up for the ink service, or the paper service for that
matter. Those just sounded like bad ideas. I buy ink at Costco,
Staples, or (occasionally) Amaxon.<br>
<br>
Unlike some of the old HP inkjet printers I've had, the 9010 series' ink
cartridges are just that—<span style="font-style: italic;">ink</span>
cartridges. They do not include print heads. <br>
<br>
The ink cartridges come in two "sizes", regular and XL. I put "sizes" in
quotes because obviously they're the same <span style="font-style:
italic;">physical </span>size, it's the degree of fill that's different.<br>
<br>
This printer has never needed any sort of cleaning, adjustment, or
maintenance (contrasted with my previous HP printer, whose cartridges
included the print heads and needed "print head alignment" frequently.<br>
<br>
It does a great job of scanning (using nothing more software-wise than
Apple's Preview app on my Mac), and it faxes, too (for when I need to
send medical or financial documents and an email attachment is not
acceptable).<br>
<br>
All-in-all I've been very pleased with my HP 9010 series all-in-one 🙂,
and I highly recommend it.<br>

Perhaps someone in this group is aware of an article explaining the
differences between various manufacturers/models, or perhaps has some
exceptionally good or bad experiences. If so, I would appreciate your
comments.</div><div><br></div><div>- Dan Silber<br>
