Where can you purchase introductory ink cartridges for an hp photosmart 8250?

I purchased the printer ';as is'; so it did not come with the necessary introductory ink cartridges needed to complete the printer setup. The regular cartridges I purchased would not work.Where can you purchase introductory ink cartridges for an hp photosmart 8250?
That seems strange, but I'd suggest you check HP's website for that printer.

They aren't ';introductory'; cartridges -- they are regular HP 02 cartridges that have the following: Black: 10ml; Cyan: 4ml; Yellow: 6ml; Light Cyan: 5.5ml; Magenta: 3.5ml; Light Magenta: 5.5ml;





Even if you bought the value pack of the 02, they're the same. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the printer? Are you sure you inserted the ink tanks correctly? If there is a tab that you have to pull before you insert the ink tank into the correct slot, make sure you've done it.





Was the printer a ';demo'; that was used before (I ask this for three reasons: 1) if it WAS used before, maybe someone damaged it and the seller wasn't aware of that. 2) If it was used before and not damaged, I would know that all of the packing/security tape was removed and 3) If it wasn't used before, there may be tape INSIDE the machine, underneath or on the back of it that may not have been removed that's preventing it from working right.)





If you can eliminate all of the above IF's, you may have purchased a defective printer and would need to return it.





Hope this helped... post and let us know how you fare.

If you are looking for a introductory ink cartridges, it will be not available in any store because you will only receive the set when you buy the printer. If you have not given with the set when you purchased the printer.





The best way to get is to call HP Total Care 800-474-6836 and ask for the set because the ordinary trade cartridges start with C8 number where as introductory ink cartridges start with C9 and you will not get it any where.


If by Chance there is any problem with the printer they will sort it out for you.
