Product: Photosmart 7520
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and older

Printer is using up ink cartriges FAST - have only printed a total of 892 pages and have gone through six black (750 page) cartriges, and two of all others.  I have never even printed a photo and that one is showing empty.   This is ridiculous!  Is anyone else having the same problem?
