Insuffient Ink When Printing
My HP Officejet A646 photo printer is about 2 years old. When I first printed pictures using the required HP110 ink I got about 55 pictures per cart. Now for the last three to four months I only get about 35 pictures. I use the recomended HP110 ink and they are new and not out of date. I have tried using the automatic cart. clean with no change in quantity of prints. Is HP putting less ink in their cart. or is there another problem. HP doesn't. sell a HP110XL cart. When I call HP service they just tell me they don't. make the HP A646 anymore and then try to sell me a very expensive all-in-one Photo Printer which does'nt. do the same thing as my HP A646. Please help me get back to 55 prints.
