HP 200 ink use

[ElvisPresleyFan]

I just switched to the Hp200 from a Hp150 and the 200 goes through ink at an amazing rate. I am a home inspector and with my hp150 i could print around 20 reports before changing ink, on the 200 i have to change after 5 reports!!!! I have it set to normal printing. Can someone help to i have a bad printer? or should i go back to the 150.

Thanks,

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

As I understand the HP 200 uses more ink than your old HP 150 did,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help you, although, to provide an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern: 

Have you installed the latest version of the full feature software, if any?

Also, What exactly are you trying to print? if it's only reports/text you can change the print quality to draft mode and check again.

While I await your response, here's what you should know:

Try reinstalling the full feature software after removing it from your computer:

Let me know how that pans out, 

Feel free to post your query for any other assistance as well,

It's been a pleasure interacting with you and I hope you have a good day ahead.
