The printer mfg's are getting worse about cartridges, so I bought a
black and white Samsung laser printer at Walmart for around $!50 and
kept the $33 Canon for color prints only.

Laser printers have BIG cartridges that last a LONG time, and the
cost per page is much less. So far, it does a great job. Time will
tell.
For a while I transferred the ink from old printer cartridges to the
ones I was using by means of a cartridge refill kit available at
drug, big box, and office supply stores. The kits work with some
cartridges, and some they don't. I finally resorted to drilling a
very small hole in the cartridge tanks, withdrawing and refilling
with a 10 ml syringe and needle, and plugging the hole with
silicone. It's messy and best utilized if you have more time than
money.

Gerry,
Waytago! That is a good idea on the ink cartridges. I have about
10-12 I was going to take to stap less for the $2 credit. I gave up
in inkjets and bought a color laser printer in 2003. before that I
had a 11x17 canon/apple color inkjet with 4x$70 cartridges.
Congrats on the samsung laser printer. Good choice! I've had one
labelled as lexmark for about 10 years and it works great. Only
problem is there is no driver for Mac, so I have to keep a winders
server running just to print.
