I just feel i should not have to throw away a working printer that cost a mint when purchased because the manufacterer wants me to buy a new one! I was not born in the "throw away" generation.

Hi @twosilly,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Printer - A909g uses HP 940 and 940XL ink cartridges. If your printer is using 940XL ink cartridges and you need replacements, you should look for HP 940XL ink cartridges to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. The 940XL version offers a higher page yield compared to the standard HP 940 cartridges, making them a more economical choice if you print frequently.

Since your printer was bought in 2011 and is still operational, you should be able to find HP 940XL ink cartridges from various suppliers, including online retailers, office supply stores, and possibly directly from HP's website. Make sure to purchase from a reputable source to ensure you get genuine HP cartridges, which can provide better reliability and print quality compared to third-party alternatives.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
