Need a cheap all-in-one , and this is selling for only $89 in local stores near
me. Don't need much -- text and some DVD artwork, that's all I do. It uses 92
and 93 carts. Will I be able to refill them like my old 15 and 78 carts?
 
Thanks, the two sources I use didn't have anything on their sites regarding this
model number printer, or the 92/93 series. I'll check it out, and add it to my
list of sources.

Just found another site:
www.ink-etc.com

Seems to be cheaper on both refill kits and bulk ink.

Hope someone will chime in with opinions on both companies, as well as opinions
on the printer/scanner/copier.

The 92 and 93 are microscopic ink carts, 92 black is 5 ml while the 93
cart is 5 ml of 3 colors, for 1.66 ml of ink per color.

Unless you only plan on printing one or two things a week, these
printers are definitely not a good deal, especially if you use OEM
ink.

They can be refilled, but the ink counter for the 9x series of ink
cannot be reset. Plus, as the tanks are very tiny, you must make sure
to refill them often in order to prevent them from running dry and
burning out the printhead.

The Canon MP500 is a good deal as far as being quite affordable both
with OEM and refill inks. Unfortunately the printer itself is nearly
2x the cost of the HP. The new Canons also cannot be reset.
