My HP printer is a bit older than yours, I don't have to print stuff regularly as I can PDF most work related docs, so this may not hold true in your case, but my printer used to allow me to print as and when until the ink(s) had run out, but I've noticed that recent HP replacement inks now 'expire' regardless whether the ink has been used up or not. I've no idea how long this 'expiry' period is for, can't remember seeing anything glaringly obvious on the packaging, and the onscreen ink levels doesn't say anything either. Really annoying when I haven't used my printer for a while then want to print something only to be told to replace the cartridge, even though the cartridge is full of ink. It's also typical of our throwaway culture that it's now cheaper to buy a new printer rather than replacement inks...
