one of the cheapest to run budget (?100) printers. As its turned out,
they're going through cartridges very quickly compared to their old one
(Stylus 660?). What's even worse is the cartridges have a chip in them
which stops refilling.

One tip - try not turning the printer on an off too often - it does a
cleaning cycle every time you do it which uses ink. On the smaller
printers I have known people use a whole cartrgidge and only print a
handfull of pages because of this.

The chips are a PITA - but there are "compatible" carts available now.
Also it looks like the practice of chipping carts will shortly be
outlawed by european competiton legislation! (Wow a bit of euro babble
that is actually of benefit! ;-)
