I like Hp products. I think they date them so you can be assured of the ink not starting to solidify inside. I tried the re-filled ones and most suck. I did have a couple that worked for a while but I have had some that don't work right out of the box.
Original Hp stuff works great. Yes it is more expensive but since you get the printer for essentially for nothing I don't mind paying for the ink. I think if you want the printer for free and the ink for free and expect to great great quality that is probably asking for too much.
I buy a bulk pack of ink and it lasts me a year or so. So once a year I buy ink. If you use a ton of ink...then you should get a real printer (laserjet), not a free inkjet which is intended for low volume.
I use a laser jet for B/W (letters and such) and an inkjet for color.
That said, I am about to toss all old my printers and buy two new ones; a color laser and and real high end inkjet just for photos.
