> we are about 300 sheets in and still lots of ink left. (This is impossible on an HP cartridge inkjet).

Generally, the cartridges lasted well over a ream of paper (500 sheets) for me, often closer to two.

However, the "setup" cartridges that most of their printers come with are much smaller, and don't last as long. This fundamentally seems like a bad marketing move, giving people a poor initial impression of how long ink cartridges last.

(My personal reason for always going for HP is that they reliably work with Linux, even over the network, for both printing and scanning.)
