HP LaseJet MFP M29w

Hello, I'm very upset with the results of my printer. On the original cartridge it is mention 1000 pages / cartridge but this not true. I pay 54$ at Staples for the cartridge and for sure I did not print the expected 1000 pages. This is really a ripe off from HP..

@Paula1980, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

There are a few things to prevent excess ink usage: 

• The printer should always be plugged into a live outlet.  If you use an external switch such as an outlet switch then more ink will be used at each startup. 

• Do not run cleaning cycles from the computer's toolbox or the printer's front panel.  These are rarely needed (perhaps once for each half dozen cartridges) and will use ink. 

• Printing in Draft mode may have acceptable quality while providing about 2x the pages of Normal or Best modes.
