I know the Envy 4500’s that I’ve seen locally in retail stores support Instant Ink, but they use the #61 cartridges. This particular Envy 4500 uses the #301 cartridges according to the specs tab.
Last night i finally broke down & bid on a copier/scanner/printer that has solid reviews at Amazon. That auction ends in 23 hours, so I may be jumping in here at the last second.
How is thermal inkjet nowadays? I think I might wanna stick with monochrome laser.
I bought an Envy 4501, looks identical, at WallyWorld just before Christmas - 40 bucks, new, store sale. It has worked perfectly so far and I am happy with it. FYI. (Henderson,Nv.) It uses #61 ink.
Can anyone speak to the start up time of this printer? I have an HP 6500 OfficeJet which I don’t use a lot, but when I do, it takes - I **** you not - like 3 minutes to whirl and gyrate and warm up before it starts to THINK about printing a page out… That’s really turned me off to these cheap HP AIOs, but anyone with better experience?
Hmmm. A lot of reviews for this model mention problems with paper jams - even when there is no paper in the unit. (False error code.) Hopefully the refurb has fixed that problem. Any owners care to share their experiences?
It’s a great price, but I don’t want to deal with a finicky printer. I use an old HP OfficeJet v40 all-in-one+fax, which I’ve had for almost 15 years. Still works great - but I would like the convenience of a wireless printer. Might be better to just invest in a wireless print server instead. (Any of those coming soon, Wootstaff?)
cbert, I’m not familiar with the 6500 series, but my OfficeJet takes about 15 seconds to go through its warm-up routine. And after all these years, it still prints beautifully and - a big plus - very quietly.

Haven’t bought a printer in many years, but it used to be the practice to include ‘starter’ cartridges that were only 1/3 full, forcing you to purchase ink much sooner than expected. Not sure if that is still the case, but that may be why the included cartridges and the replacements have different numbers.
I’d probably stay away from any HP “wireless” printer. I purchased an all-in-one HP refurbed printer (model c310). The wireless function worked at first, but after the one year mark, the wireless no longer worked. It still functions if connected by usb, but the wireless will not see ANY wi-fi signal. Could not send back because the unit stopped working properly after the warranty expired. Try another manufacturer. Stay away from HP.
