In my opinion, if you are going to keep a printer for a while, get a tank-style printer where you refill with a bottle of cheap ink (any brand, even compatible ink). The printer costs a bit more upfront, but if you use a printer enough, you will wind up saving money with a tank-style (which typically comes with 1-3 years of ink IN THE BOX).
Just checked, and here's the RIP OFF: HP wants $73 for a black cartridge that only prints 1000 pages and color cartridges are only 800 pages (and this is with the EXTENDED cartridges that are double the pages of the regular cartridges). Also, this printer comes with "starter" cartridges that are far less than the regular, so expect to be shelling out $200 for a set of ink VERY SOON.

Community Reviews
This HP OfficeJet Pro 8138e is being treated as a cheap entry point for a wireless all-in-one printer, especially for occasional home use and Costco's easy return policy. The strongest praise is that the low upfront price can work if you print infrequently and want a simple scanner and copier, with some reporting years of use or easy returns. The main concern is ink economics and HP lock-in, since the printer is described as subscription-based, tied to HP cartridges, and prone to expensive starter and replacement ink. It is a better fit when low purchase price matters more than long-term ink cost.
Common Questions (5)
It can be used without Instant Ink, but the printer is repeatedly described as an HP+ or subscription-style model that pushes ongoing ink/service payments. Several comments warn that printing may be disabled or the printer may be treated as a subscription device unless you keep paying for the service.
Only if you are comfortable with inkjet upkeep. Infrequent use can cause ink to dry out or clog, and the low page yield means the cheap purchase price can be offset by expensive ink over time.
Yes. The 8138e is described as locked to HP-brand cartridges, and the "e" model is said to block third-party cartridges. That makes the upfront $50 price less attractive if you plan to buy cheaper compatible ink later.
The cartridges are reported to be low-yield, around 800 to 1,000 pages, and the starter cartridges included with the printer have less ink than standard replacements. A black cartridge is cited at about $73, with a full set of replacements expected to run around $200 soon after purchase.
Costco's return policy is a major reason some shoppers consider the deal low-risk. One HP AIO bought at Costco was returned after an electronic error about 2.5 years later and was accepted without questions.
