Q: Does it come with ink or do you have to buy it
A: Yes it comes with ink but it's just a starter set. But if you sign up for their ink program they will mail you ink with 2 days. It's very cheap and the printer comes with 3 free months
A: Good question. Yes, this printer has single cartridge mode where you can use just one cartridge to print if one cartridge is out of ink. You have to remove the empty cartridge in order for single cartridge mode to work. This printer has 1 black cartridge and 1 tricolor cartridge. I hope this helps.
A: This printer has a couple of options for scanning. It does have a flatbed scanner. You can also load a sheet of paper on the collapsible top tray and it will feed in once you choose to scan from the top tray. Also, to make your life a whole lot simpler, when you download the drivers from the HP website, be sure and download the software for this printer.

Q: connectivity
