    I had a number of printers over the years, the last was an HP printer/scanner/FAX combo that worked for a while and then developed clogged nozzle troubles. Cartridges being too expensive anyway I continued using the scanner to file rent checks. Here I don't need any of that, on the one occasion I needed legal docs printed I sent them to the liaison's office for printing. Here's the rub, cartridges cost as much as a new printer so you may as well buy a new printer, they're cheap enough. If you're so tight you squeak, find yourself a printer that won't say the cartridges are empty when disturbed and refuse to print. Then buy a refill kit the first time they run dry, and bottles of ink afterward. It's like oil, buy ink and you won't squeak anymore. ('->)

    Just kick me.....

    I'm on the "Ink Auto-refill" rip, Sons-of-biscuit-eaters - HP periodically charges my card and send me ink when I need it.

    There's a price break on printers; unless you are willing to make an investment, you are stuck with the home office POS's
