A:AnswerIt comes with a starter set of ink in black and the 3 colors. The number of the cartridge is HP902. I only use and buy HP ink although I think you can get other brands but I wouldn't want to mess up the printer by using off-brands in it. The quality is in HP ink. You made a wise choice in buying an HP product.
A:AnswerThe PRINTHEAD is expensive and I think you would be better to purchase a new printer ON SALE rather than spend way too much for a part on a 2 year old printer. The HP models are on sale most of the time. I had the same error message and when I found out what the part would cost, I quickly decided to update and buy a new HP printer..
