HP DeskJet 2131(F5S42D) Multi Function Inkjet Printer

First of all, hats off to flipkart for delivering the printer 5 days before the expected date. So, no complaints about that.nnAbout printer, it looks stylish. It is very compact. Looks great in white color. This is my first printer and I bought it for home use. It serves the purpose very well. The installation is very easy. It works like charm. The hp software is very idiotic. It says connect the printer, even after taking prints from Microsoft Word, scanning from the 'Devices and Printers' options in control panel. It worked means the pc recognizes it, but the idiotic hp software doesn't recognize it. But you can always get your job done from control panel, so I don't care about it now. The controls are very intuitive. So, go for it if your main purpose is for home use.nnI wish I could end up here, but unfortunately NO! It uses HP 803 cartridge. And it is too expensive being tri-color at 949/- and black at 799/- !! The page yield for tri-color is ~165 pages and for black it is ~190 pages. It will empty your pockets like nothing!nI'm thinking to refill the cartridge instead of buying a new one.nnSo, final verdict. If you are ready to spend this much amount of money on cartridges, then surely go for it. Otherwise, go for 2135 Ink Advantage. I wish I would be known about this at the time of buying. 5 stars for printer and 3 stars for cartridge.

pls don't buy this. cartridges are not available in the market easily. printing speed is much slower and no. of pages is also very low .
