What Ink Does the HP OfficeJet 8015 Use?

by Last Updated:

Correction (October 2026): an earlier version of this guide listed 910XL yields of about 825 pages and suggested HP 916XL cartridges fit this printer. HP's current ratings are about 720 pages for the 910XL black and 700 per color, and the 916XL is an OfficeJet Pro 8020-series cartridge, not one for the 8015.

Quick answer: The HP OfficeJet 8015 uses four HP 910 cartridges: black, cyan, magenta and yellow, or the high-yield HP 910XL versions (about 720 pages for black and 700 per color). Castle Ink's remanufactured 910XL 4-pack is $68.99, with singles at $26.99 for black and $11.99 per color.

Limited data: We could not find enough owner ratings or published expert scores for this printer, so those weights are spread across the other pillars. With neither owner ratings nor a published expert score, we cap this printer at 69 (Situational) until better data is available.

Still sold new as the OfficeJet 8015e, the HP+ version, which Best Buy Canada listed when we checked. We couldn't confirm U.S. availability.

Which Printers Use the Same Ink as the OfficeJet 8015?

HP 910/910XL cartridges fit HP's 8010/8020-series inkjets: the OfficeJet 8010, 8012, 8014, 8015, 8017, 8020, 8022, 8025, 8028 and 8035, and the OfficeJet Pro 8020, 8022, 8025, 8028 and 8035, including their "e" (HP+) versions. Look up any model in our find ink by printer directory.

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. HP rates the 910XL black for about 720 pages against 250 for the standard black, and each 910XL color for about 700 against 315. That is more than twice the pages, so you pay less per page and change 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 caveats. The 8015 has HP dynamic security, which blocks cartridges with non-HP chips. Our remanufactured 910XL cartridges keep the original HP chip, which makes them the safer choice. Third-party cartridges with their own chips are riskier: sellers say an HP firmware update on December 8, 2025 required upgraded chips before their 910XL cartridges would work. Turning off automatic firmware updates in the printer's settings or the HP Smart app can help, but a printer that already took that update needs cartridges with current chips. 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 that prints, scans and copies. It has automatic two-sided printing, a 35-sheet document feeder (one-sided scanning only), a 225-sheet paper tray, a 2.2-inch color touchscreen, dual-band 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. If your model is an "e" version activated with HP+, it will only accept Original HP cartridges. Compare current models in our printer buying guide, or take the ~60-second PrinterIQ Finder quiz.

HP OfficeJet 8015 Ink FAQs

What ink does the HP OfficeJet 8015 use?

HP 910 or high-yield HP 910XL cartridges in black, cyan, magenta and yellow.

Is HP 910 the same as HP 912?

They are equivalent cartridges sold in different regions. U.S. printers use HP 910/910XL.

Can I print with only black ink?

All four cartridges must be installed. The printer keeps printing when a color is low, and you can print grayscale to save color, but an empty or missing cartridge will stop it.

Does the OfficeJet 8015 work with HP Instant Ink?

Yes, it's eligible. While enrolled it only accepts Instant Ink cartridges; see how Instant Ink works.

Are remanufactured cartridges safe for the OfficeJet 8015?

Yes, if they keep the original HP chip, as ours do. The 8015's dynamic security blocks cartridges with non-HP chips, and firmware updates can block cartridges that worked before. See are compatible ink cartridges safe?

Same ink, other models: the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 uses the same HP 910 and 910XL cartridges. HP's high-yield 916XL black is sold for the OfficeJet Pro 8020 series, not for the OfficeJet 8015.

What OfficeJet 8015 owners ask

These are the questions that come up most for this printer on retailer Q&A pages, HP's support forum and owner reviews, answered in our words.

My 8015 prints blank pages and shows event code 62.80.13. Is it dead?

Not necessarily. The code points to a printhead fault. One owner on HP's forum got ink flowing again only after running Clean Printhead from the touchscreen about eight times, after power resets had failed.

It keeps reporting a paper or carriage jam, but I can't see any paper.

HP's advice is to turn the printer off and unplug it, clear any scraps of paper, check that the carriage slides freely from side to side and that the cartridges are seated, then power it back on.

Do third-party 910XL cartridges still work after HP's late-2025 firmware?

Sellers of third-party 910XL cartridges say an HP firmware update on December 8, 2025 required upgraded cartridge chips, and they tell buyers to turn off automatic updates. A printer that already took that update needs cartridges with current chips.

I bought an HP 915XL and the printer says "Incompatible Cartridge". Why?

HP 912 and 915 are the versions sold outside North America. One owner on HP's forum put a 915XL in a U.S. printer, got the error, and HP's attempt to change the printer's region didn't fix it. Buy HP 910 or 910XL for a U.S. 8015.

Can the document feeder scan both sides of a page?

No. The 35-sheet feeder scans one side only. Two-sided printing is automatic, though.

OfficeJet 8015 quirks worth knowing

  • For a non-Pro OfficeJet it has a lot of paper handling: a 35-sheet document feeder and a 225-sheet tray that takes paper up to legal size. The touchscreen is small, at 2.2 inches.
  • The 910XL colors are rated for nearly as many pages as the 910XL black (about 700 against 720). Most HP lines give color far fewer pages than black.
  • The plain 8015 was not sold as an HP+ printer. The 8015e is the HP+ version, and once HP+ is activated it accepts only Original HP cartridges.
  • HP rates it at 18 pages per minute in black and 10 in color (ISO).
