A:AnswerYes. I have had this for almost 2 years with no issue. I am low on color ink as we speak and it still prints black and white. I have been completely out of color and it still printed. That was a make or break feature for me, world not have bought if if wouldnt.
A:AnswerIt does come with ink but I had read from someone else that using that ink automatically sets you up to an automatic refill program. I didn't want that because I tend to use it off & on. I think that's dirty play. So I bought & used extra ink.
A:AnswerYes, I bought the Insignia multi-purpose paper 8.5 x 11 from Best Buy at the same time that I bought the printer and the paper prints just fine.
