What Is the Cheapest Ink for the OfficeJet 8015?

Remanufactured HP 910XL cartridges are the cheapest reliable option. HP's original 910XL black lists at about $57 and a full XL set runs roughly $130 or more, while Castle Ink's remanufactured 910XL 4-pack is $68.99, about 3–4 cents per black page. For a deeper cost breakdown, see cheapest ink for the 8020 series and Instant Ink vs. cartridges.

Should I Buy HP 910 or HP 910XL?

910XL. The XL black holds roughly two and a half to three times the ink of the standard 910 black, and XL colors hold more than twice as much, so your cost per page drops sharply and you replace cartridges less often.

How Do I Replace the Ink in the HP OfficeJet 8015?

1. Turn the printer on and open the cartridge access door; wait for the carriage to stop.
2. Press the front of the empty cartridge to release it and pull it out.
3. Unwrap the new cartridge (don't touch the metal contacts) and slide it into the matching color slot until it clicks.
4. Close the access door. The printer may print an alignment page.

Will Remanufactured Ink Work in the OfficeJet 8015?

Yes, with two caveats. HP pushes "dynamic security" firmware updates that can block cartridges with non-HP chips, so turn off automatic firmware updates in the printer's settings or the HP Smart app before switching. And if the printer is enrolled in HP Instant Ink, it only accepts subscription cartridges until you cancel. See how to stop HP firmware updates from blocking your ink. Using third-party ink does not void your warranty (here's why).

Why Does My OfficeJet 8015 Say the Cartridge Isn't Recognized?

Remove the cartridge, make sure all protective tape and caps are off, wipe the chip or copper contacts gently with a dry lint-free cloth, and reinstall until it clicks. Confirm the part number matches this printer, then restart. If the message started right after a firmware update, the update may be blocking third-party chips. Full steps: ink cartridge not recognized.

How Do I Fix Streaky or Faded Prints on the OfficeJet 8015?

Open HP Smart (or the printer's Tools/Printer Maintenance menu) and run Clean Printhead, then print a quality report. One or two cycles usually clear minor clogs. See faded or streaky prints.

What Are the HP OfficeJet 8015's Key Features?

The OfficeJet 8015 is a wireless home-office inkjet with automatic two-sided printing, a color touchscreen, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, and AirPrint, Mopria and HP Smart app support.

Is the OfficeJet 8015 Still Worth Using in 2026?

Yes. The 8010/8020 series is still common and HP 910/910XL cartridges are widely available and inexpensive in remanufactured form.
