Dear friends, sorry for the long delay, but I haven't made a decision yet. I am torn between your hints and a printer I could get for nothing (HSBC Rewards). I will tell you about the outcome!

Off-topic: yes, I am loyal to HP even before they produced printers and x86 computers, even before my HP34 calculator. The very desktop I am writing this with is a heavy HP-Compaq D530, working since 2006, my wife had an identical one until a lightning stroke killed it. But through your opinions...

Redbrickman, The Hat: the Canon Maxify MB5150 seems to be a heavy duty machine, for office use, and prices I found abroad (it doesn't exist here) are more than twice the local price for a HP or Epson. My need is modest, occasionally a few pages a day. And when the cartridges eventually cease to...

PeterBJ, the document covering the Tap 41 Diagnostic Test stated that an "Incompatible" error could not be bypassed in order to be able to diagnost the cartridge. So I emptied my savings account and purchased one more tricolor. The error remained!!! And I was sure I had set the region correctly...

PeterBJ: many thanks for your valuable hints! I'll try them and let you know.

I own an HP Deskjet 3050, I have found this Forum and I see this is the right place to exchange experiences
