Product: HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: macOS 12.0 Monterey

What ink cartridges can I use with my HP OfficeJet 6978 printer?  I have bought the HP 902 AND 62 cartridges & they both seem to work. Is one preferred and what is the difference? Are there any others? ALSO, I bought other brands of the same cartridge thru Amazon & they have worked in the past, but now it is telling me the chip on these cartridges is not certified HP and will not work with my printer. Grrrr. Is there a work around??

ALSO, I travel for work & am gone a lot. The ink seems to dry out quickly while I am gone and I am left buying new cartridges more often than I should. They are EXPENSIVE!!! Is there a way to make them last longer?
