We have a fairly simple and cheap parallel Laser printer on my
husband's PC, which I use for contract work documents, and he uses for
his lecturing notes. We've only replaced the toner once in two years,
and it cost $40. Have spent about a million (slight exaggeration) on
inkjet cartridges in the meantime for everyday printing.

I don't wish to preempt next week's mailer but you may see a HP Mac

Does that mean we have reached the point where it's cheaper to throw
out the printer and buy a new one than to replace the ink cartridges?
Have fun,

Yes we have reached that point and I wonder whether something can be
done
about it via the ACC Professor Fels etc
I think I would be safe in saying that inkjet cartridges are the only
items associated with the computer industry which have actually
increased
in price in recent years.
Anyone want to start a petition
