fyi:)

Works great in L7580/L7680
This cartridge is shown on HP's website to be fully compatible with L7580 (which I own) and the near identical L7680 printer. I use it and it works great and is a good deal.

Expired Ink; Not XL
I'm torn. It is ink. It is cheap. And it arrived quickly.

However...it is expired ink, which sends HP printers (at least my OfficeJet Pro L7680) in to a hyperventilating tizzy every time I want to print. It takes me 4-5 menu-navigating button pushes every time I print, during which the printer repeatedly protests that my override is voiding any HP warranty. Nice touch, HP. Once I get through that, though, the print quality is fine.

Additionally, instead of 1 88XL, I received 2 regular-sized 88 cartridges. Not the end of the world. But not as advertised.

So...overall...it's ink. It's cheap. It works...sort of. But it is a big pain in the backside to use.
