Q: Can I use this printer with Windows 10?

A: This HP Printer is compatible with Windows 10.

Q: Do u have to replace all cartrages or 1 just the black if the black runs out

A: the Best Buy specs on this page seem to say that you MUST have 2 cartridges inserted in order for the unit to function. (Specs tab, "Number of cartridges required: 2") but i pulled up the User's Guide on HP's website, and that says you do NOT have to have both inserted. also, maybe more to the question--Norma, you can just replace the black cartridge if the tri-color cartridge still has ink in it. you can buy, i'm pretty sure, a single black cartridge, although buying a 2-pack of BLACK cartridges might be more cost-effective. btw, since this printer apparently DOES allow for only 1 cartridge to be inserted, i was told (long ago) that if you don't print with color very often, you should remove the color cartridge and store it in an air-tight bag (e.g., ziplock or baggie). that will keep the ink from both drying out or evaporating. when you want to print in color, just insert the cartridge.

Q: can i print from my galaxy 3 tablet

A: Yes,I have the same tablet and bought it for this purpose,it does it very well. Al

Q: does this automatically do 2-sided printing?

A: you have to do it manually

Q: Does the printer have ink saver options ie Draft, Normal, Best ?

A: Yes, you can access these settings in printer preferences before you print your document.

Q: compatable with?

A: As long as the HP PC has one of the following operating systems you should not have any problems: Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP3 or higher (32-bit only).
