This is a function of how you use it. The printer must put a certain amount of ink through it's system or it's going to clog up. If this goes onto the paper, fine, but if you don't print (or don't print with all the colors) it's going to periodically spit some out. (Note: This means that if you leave a printer turned off for too long it will suffer. Likewise, if you leave it with an empty ink tank for too long, the same problem.)

It might make financial sense to get a colour laser all-in-1 (but I think this is expensive) and just print any photos in a machine in the mall if needed urgently, but is there an inkjet that's better than HP?
The price is getting down there where it's competitive with everything but the el-cheapo inkjets.
