Hi- just seen your question about your HP printer using loads of ink. Here are a few tips on how to save on ink:

1)If you’re just printing a draft or a record and can sacrifice quality, set printer to ‘low-quality’ mode. Go to >file >print and choose “draft output”, which prints a fast and low-quality draft copy without images. This will open the print menu. In the bottom left click >options and check >draft output.
2.) When you’re printing web pages there’s an online website editor, Printwhatyoulike.com, which allows you to optimise websites for printing by eliminating ads and white spaces so you only print what you need.
3) Turn your printer on and off manually
To save energy, turn your printer on only when you need it! And to keep the ink from drying out, turn the printer off manually. Don’t use the power strip! Using the manual on/off button activates a program and the printer will properly “park” the ink cartridges. In the park position the ink is protected from drying out quickly.
