Electronic Frontier Foundation decodes printer tracking dots
The next time you use the office printer, you may be printing up a lot more than sales figures or quarterly reports.

Thanks for the info on the Canon paper, but I tried some of my paper on
her printer, and the HP ink tends to be grainy and blotchy with the
automatic settings. It doesn't get absorbed very well into the resin on
the Canon paper, so the final image looks rough. Changing some of the
paper type settings improves the results, but not enough to make the
photos acceptable.
This applies to the HP 6540 with pigment-based black ink (#96) though
and is different from the photo ink (#99) which is dye-based. Perhaps
using the photo cartridge will yield better results, but we'll have to
get a #99 and see if it works better.
If not, and we can't find anything else, then at least the HP Everyday
photo paper is an option for basic snapshots. The "keepers" can always
be put on good paper.

Well, since you can't use them, why not send them over here...I'll make
sure my friend gets them and puts them to good use.

I actually prefer the plus paper over the pro because the back isn't
sticky. It's annoying trying to show some photos and they stick together
as well as stick to your fingers.
The pro paper does have a very nice finish though.

It's ok, but for the price I use Office Depot paper in my Canon. It
doesn't work very well with the HP ink though.

Exactly...I buy 8.5x11 sheets and print four photos on it to reduce
costs. Using refill inks, I can print photos for less than what it costs
at the local photo lab.

i didn't notice this yet. I'll look into it. I have this printer only about
one week now...

So, i guess that HP and Canon are totally different - i mean, HP paper
doesn't go on Canon, and Canon paper doesn't go on HP...

I wonder, how many photos one set of carts can print. I printed over 10 of
them now and all carts are still full - i can't see any difference in level
yet.

The Canon ink tanks use a sponge section to feed the ink, and a
reservoir to keep the sponge supplied with ink. Once you use up most of
the ink in the sponge, the reservoir will start to drop. You should see
that happen very soon now.
As for print numbers, I don't remember exact counts for 8.5x11 prints,
but I recall it was about the same as a roll of film, so roughly 36
photos or about 9 pages. The usage depends on the prints though, so
consumption varies with the images.
