XL black cartridges not recognized and printer wastes color ink

Computers & Services

This printer is the devil incarnate! I bought XL cartridges in black because that is what I use the most. The printer does not recognize the larger size. After the printer "thinks" it is nearly empty, it starts printing mixed color downloads, like coupons in Standard form which uses up my color cartridge for no good reason! It wastes all my colored ink so when I want to use colored there isn't any left! Now it doesn't even offer a choice of standard or black/white copies. So anything off the net I try to copy doesn't even print so as to be legible. It is still printing b/w documents fine. I hate this printer, I will never buy another HP Product of any kind!
