If the refill cartridge matches the type used in the HP 7210 printer, then it should work (unless the cartridge itself is defective). However I would make sure that the cartridge type is compatible with your printer before purchasing it. You can also buy discounted printer cartridges online - which is what i recommend from sites like this here.

Not even remotely. Printer manufacturers have proprietary formulas that control the ink's rheology, jetting characteristics, density, hue, chroma, intensity, surface tension, drying time, fade resistance, nucleation temperature, and ph, just to name a few attributes that cannot be repeated with knockoff inks. There is also the possibility of damaging the print head by clogging nozzles or attacking the heaters that boil the ink for ejection.
If cost is the concern, consider getting a Kodak printer (I did). The OEM ink replacements are way less expensive (like half). I have been buying the color replacement tank for $14.95 and the high capacity black for $9.95 at Wal-Mart.
The printer didn't cost that much the text looks great. The photos are lab qualityDo the ink refills from walgreens work just as good as the original ones? i have an hp 7210 all in 1 printer?
That's a bit of a complex question.
The short answer is no.
The real answer is, they work well enough for most people. May not have quite as accurate of colors or as high a print quality due to proprietary inks and eventually the head built into the cartridge will get old and worn out (vs getting a new head with a new cartridge purchase).
In *certain* HP printers the machine won't let you use a 3rd party or a refilled cartridge. Probably not that case for your machine, particularly if they are selling them for your model.
You can also look online or at Staples / warehouse clubs like Costco etc for cheap generic and HP brand ink.
Refills should work well enough though. If you are printing a lot of photos etc, I'd get the real thing. I only buy the real deal personally and my wife uses a TON of ink. We just get it at wholesale clubs.
Ink is Ink. If it is compatible to your HP, than it will work. The secret of refilling is to make sure there is no air in the cartridge after the refill. Secondly, you cannot refill more than 3 times in which case, you can burn the printer head. Also, the cartrdige won't print as good if ever.
That depends on how fussy you are.
I have used refills but that eliminated the on-screen dialog box from HP.
It seems that a wire contact is made when you insert a new HP cartridge and thus if/when removed, the on-screen stuff is lost.
For quality concerns, it is fine, however some of the other responses are true, take them into consideration.
The answer about a Kodak printer is interesting, as I feel a print job is just that, a print job.
PS: I am an author and have had a need for printing large amounts, I have an HP PhotoSmart All-In-One M425 and an HP LaserJet, an older model 1100. It has a HUGE cartridge and I can print about 5,000 pages 11 1/2'; x 8 1/2'; size (no problem). The cartridge seems expensive ($80.00 or so), but consider the capabilities and it does not do color.

The depends upon how skilled the refiller is.
The short answer is most of the time - no. They are working with very simple equipment that unless the refiller is very skilled (which is unlikely in such a low paying position) that they will be creating a cartridge with like new print quality.
Granted, you should be able to obtain a decent print quality from refilling. If decent is good enough and worth the savings - go ahead!
refilling in general is a very risk business. it works most of the time but the one time it fails your printer is destroyed and you lose more than you ever saved. read http://ccs-digital.com/refills.asp
If you want to save money buy brand new (not remanufactured) compatible cartridges.
Nowadays the new compatible and remanufactured are also very reliable, and most of the sellers provide one year warranty.
Don't worry, you can use the ink refills in your printer.
You get what you pay for. A $10 cartridge that may smear and doesn't last long. Keep in mind that since there is no gauge to tell, go on peoples experiences. Most of them I have heard are accusing stores of re-filling only half way. Those were from former employees of Walgreens.
It should work just as the original HP ink.
