Based on the supplies featured here, both versions use the same ink system and serve similar home‑office needs.

• Ink compatibility: Cartridges labeled 280 (pigment black) and 281 (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) are shown as compatible with both, in standard, XL, and XXL sizes.
• Functions: This family includes all‑in‑one designs (print/scan/copy/fax) as shown on the page.
• Supplies overlap: Many multipacks here list compatibility with both model numbers.

If you need details beyond ink and basic features, reviewing the official spec sheets can clarify any minor hardware or firmware differences. You can shop compatible supplies here with pickup or delivery options.

Try these general steps; menu names can vary by firmware:

1. On the printer screen, open Settings > Wireless/Wi‑Fi setup.
2. Select your network name (SSID) and enter the password.
3. Install the latest drivers/software from the manufacturer’s support page, then add the printer to your computer or mobile device.
4. If your router supports WPS, you can use the push‑button method instead of entering a password.

• Tips: Place the printer within reliable range, use the network band supported in your manual, and update firmware for best compatibility. Printing a network report can help with troubleshooting.

Results can vary based on your home network. If you prefer, you can also connect via USB using the setup software.

This wireless all‑in‑one is designed for everyday documents and projects, which can suit both home and school tasks.

• Versatile functions: Print, scan, copy, and fax from a compact footprint.
• Ink system: Uses individual 280/281 cartridges (pigment black plus dye‑based colors), with XL and XXL options to help reduce cartridge changes.
• Mixed use: Pigment black can help with crisp text, while dye colors support vibrant handouts and photos.

Actual output and cost depend on what you print and how often. If you expect frequent assignments or color projects, consider stocking high‑yield cartridges. You can find compatible supplies on this page and choose home delivery or store pickup.

Look for the 280/281 series shown on this page.

• What you need: 280 (pigment black) and 281 (black, cyan, magenta, yellow). Many packs include all five.
• Sizes: Standard, XL, and XXL capacities are available; higher‑yield options can help reduce replacements.
• Fit check: Match the number and color on the cartridge and confirm the model list on the box.
• Install tips: Replace one at a time, avoid touching the chip or nozzles, and run an alignment after installing.

Compatible and remanufactured options are also listed here; performance can vary by brand and usage. Keep spares sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.

Rather than labeling one “better,” compare how each fits your needs.

• Ink system & yields: Check which cartridge series each uses and whether XL/XXL options are available. Supplies on this page show 280/281 for one model.
• Functions: Confirm print/scan/copy/fax and any specific paper sizes you need.
• Connectivity: Look for wireless features you’ll use (Wi‑Fi, mobile setup, USB).
• Space & volume: Consider footprint, tray capacity, and how many pages you print monthly.

Review each model’s spec sheet and the compatible supplies offered here to estimate ongoing costs. Ordering online with pickup or delivery can make restocking easier.
