I believe you. My old HP DeskJet 895 Cxi just keeps on chuggin'. Now Costco will reload the
cartridge while you wait for about $7. I didn't see that sign until after I put the new printer on
my wish list. But, I like the extra capabilities of the Samsung.
The operative word is "old". The new ones use a cartridge with a chip
that keeps you from refilling them. If the chip says it is empty,
putting more ink in it will not get it to say full again.
Ink jets are a scam. They give away the printer and make their money
on the ink. Like everything else, 3d parties are trying to take a bite
out of that model tho.
I just prefer a laser. The prints are water proof, you can make
"foils" and they end up cheaper in the long run if you print a lot.
I was reading a forum about the Samsung laser printer. The folks were saying that when the printer
says the toner is running out to put in a new cartridge, crank up the printer, and then put the old
cartridge back in. This fooled the printer into thinking it was full again. Then they'd run with the
old cartridge until print quality went to hell.
