For my last printer (Epson) I bought a "cheap" cartridge off the internet. It lasted for 3 pages. That's when I decided it wasn't worth it to keep buying new cartridges.

I heard that filled/remanufactured ink cartridges weren't as good as OEM ones. There was a PC World article on this and I'll try to find the links for it some time.

Even with refilling your own cartridges? I haven't tried that. I don't know how practical it really is for home printers, or whether it's even possible with any of yours, obviously.

Post the printers on Freecycle. In my area anything computer related gets snagged up fast when posted there.

With so many printers on sale, it is now literally cheaper to buy a whole new printer than to buy new ink. Is this crazy or what? I actually bought an extra one so I have it for when the ink runs out on my new one.

Now my problem is figuring out how to get rid of all my old printers (I have about 4 at this point).
