Current HP pro 8010  inkjet printer- randomly only prints partial page or fills most of page with alternate color squares & rectangles. Other times prints fine for several pages but this is happening daily now for a couple weeks.Wasting lots of paper & ink.. & very frustrated .Suggestions?
Because I I have lots of new ink  I would like to use, if need be would like to find a printer that I can still use this ink for if the troubleshooting doesn’t work. Out of warranty. About 9 yrs. Old. Checked ink heads & levels, alignment ok.

Thanks much,

jill

You will hardly find a new printer that can use 950/951 cartridges, because those are not longer produced for several years now.

 Thanks- It seems in my search so far that I am not finding any . But the other affordable options have such small ink cartridges or are 4x the cost to get the kind you fill the tanks with. I had just purchased lots of ink cartridges so kind of bummed.

Do  you know when if it is time or worth the cost of replacing the printer head vs buying a new printer?

thanks,

jill
