HP OfficeJet 6950 and 6958 All-in-One printers Difference/compatible information?

[xandux]

I am about to setup HP OfficeJet 6958.  Everywhere I search for the manuals and drivers - the HP 6950 appears.

Q1: How compatible is the HP 6950 manuals (setup, user guide), drivers, and cartridges with the HP OfficeJet 6958?

Q2:  Is it a correct assumption that the setup video for 6978 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJHxtwgwdHQ) is a good guide?

Q3: Procedure to connect 2 printers (HP Officejet All-in-One 6958 wireless, HP Laserjet 4050 printer cable) HP  to one computer?

Q4: Setup Cartridge (SC) versus Replacement Cartridge(RC):  Q4a.  Why SC necessary for setup? Q4b.  Can SC be used for regular printing or must SC be replaced with RC after setup?  Q4c. If the printer needs to be setup again later (e.g. driver corrupted), is another SC needed? Q4d. Why RC cannot be used for setup?

Q5. Will all cartridges (HP 902XL ( 3 color, 1 bw)) need to be replaced whenever one cartridge goes dry?

Q6. Are remanufactured cartridges really a cost saving (actually works as well as the OEM)? [edit]

Thanks in advance

@xandux, Welcome to HP Support Community!

Q1: Both HP Officejet 6958 and HP Officejet 6950 are one and the same. They use the same cartridges, drivers.

Q2: Yes, you can refer to the setup video of HP Officejet 6978 to set up your printer.

Q3: For HP Officejet 6958 wireless setup refer to this document HP OfficeJet 6950 Printers - Wireless Printer Setup (Windows) 

Q4: Refer to this document to know about setup ink HP Ink Cartridges - What Are SETUP Ink Cartridges?

Q5: You only replace the cartridge which is empty. You don't have to replace all the cartridges when one of them goes empty.

Q6: Here's the thing, yes, you can refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems.HP will not guarantee the functionality of those ink cartridges.

Hope this helps.
