I've got a Cannon i865 printer and the cost of the inks is ridiculous.


That's true of just about all printer brands and models


It getting cheaper to fill the car up with fuel, than it is to buy ink for
our printer. No Joke.


You're right.

My last bill for ink for a basic Dell printer was just north of £60.
The printer (an "all in one" Lexmark clone) came free with a PC, but
would normally have cost only about £40.

A warning came up within a week that new cartridges were needed, but I
kept them going until the ink ran out two months later, and only then
replaced them.
