L7590 black printing yield

‎10-14-2009 12:25 AM

I am curious if anybody else ran into this issue . I printed 124 pages and my black cartridge is out (cartridge is HP88 standard). What about the 850 pages yield that HP advertises. How come there is such a huge difference?

I want to go back to my black laser printer.... :smileyvery-happy: which was still an hp though...

NEB1, Have you tried changing the Ink Volume Setting on the Advanced tab of the printer properties wndow? I needed to drop mine a little to stop some smearing on postage labels, and was very surprised to find that I could not only drop it one or two levels and keep a strong page, but could drop the usage level all the way to the lowest setting and still print out great quality work. Since we did this on all our L7590's, I'd say they're using probably 1/3 the ink they were originally. Now if we could just get them to stop picking up more than 1 sheet of paper at a time......(Has nothing to do with the ink volume; they've always had this problem)
While I do not work for HP, I don't work against them, either.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I set it up. I guess it's a matter of time now to see the results.:robothappy:

Yes, I am aware of standards and what now BUT from a 5-600 (or whatever) the yield is on this **bleep** cartridge down to 124 pages is an outrage. I did only test printing with an occasional logo from a website.

The laser printer that I bought years ago (hp 3055) was pretty much right on the money with the page yield of which I was happy by the way. Having to see this however, on this printer it really bothered me. I think the post below yours has some good tips for folks out there. I will try to post again when I get some mileage out of this one and see if the settings do help (as they sound they might)
