Brand new printer bought yesterday from Argos. Printed 2x A4 B&W word docs to test wifi print, then 4x A4 colour pages. The printer then failed fifth print due to 'lack of ink'? Do these printers come with minimal ink in the brand new cartridges supplied in the printer box, or is this printer ridiculously inefficent and / or the ink cartridges way too small?

SETUP ink cartridges are used only to set up a new HP printer or printhead and supply ink for the first series of your print jobs. They are specially designed to initialize a printer and calibrate ink levels.

Unlike replacement ink cartridges, SETUP ink cartridges cannot be purchased from retailers and are available only in the box with a new printer or with some replacement printhead kits.

If you are going to be printing A4 color pages often then you purchased the wrong printer.
