New printers come with "starter" cartridges good for maybe 50 sheets, Swifty.
I get cartridges from NEEDINK.COM and so far they've been perfectly compatible with both an HP and a Brother printer, work fine, and cost a lot less.
Interesting, my brother printer is a year old, printed more than 50 sheets. Black that came with it is 1/2 full, colors went dry cost me 35.00. Brand new Canon Pixma on sale Wally World 29.00. Anymore home printers are throwaways. Use them till the ink runs out then chuck em.
