Hi @C-12,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

If your HP DeskJet 2622 All-in-One Printer is running out of ink quickly, there are several possible reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially improve the ink usage.

Check Print Settings:

• Make sure you are using the appropriate print settings. Using high-quality or photo settings will consume more ink than draft or standard settings.
• Use "Black and White" or "Grayscale" mode if you don't need color for your prints.

Use Economode:

• Some HP printers have an Economode or Draft mode, which uses less ink. Check if your printer has this option and enable it for everyday printing.

Software Updates:

• Ensure your printer drivers and firmware are up to date. Sometimes, updates can improve ink efficiency.

Check Cartridge Type:

• Ensure you are using the correct ink cartridges recommended for your printer model. Using off-brand or incompatible cartridges can lead to ink wastage.

Print Preview:

• Use print preview to check your document before printing. This can help you avoid printing unnecessary pages or pages with large images that use a lot of ink.

Avoid Frequent On/Off:

• Turning your printer on and off frequently can trigger the inkjet cleaning process, which uses some ink. Try to leave your printer on if you print often.

Print Regularly:

• Inkjet printers can dry out if not used regularly. Printing a test page or a small document periodically can help keep the ink flowing smoothly.

Quality Settings:

• If you're printing documents that don't require high-quality output, you can adjust the print quality to a lower setting. This will use less ink.

Use Ink-Saving Fonts:

• Some fonts use less ink than others. Consider using fonts like Arial or Calibri instead of heavy, bold fonts.

Replace Empty Cartridges Promptly:

• Don't ignore low ink warnings. Replace empty or low ink cartridges as soon as possible to avoid wasting ink on print head cleaning cycles.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
