Now here's Ed Foster of INfoWorld reporting it - you can buy a new printer for the cost of the replacement cartridges. Ed quotes a reader letter:
About a year ago, I purchased an HP Photosmart 7350 inkjet printer and a black cartridge (since it only came with the color & "photo" cartridges) for $260--an excellent price at the time. A buddy of mine found that same printer, with all 3 cartridges, on clearance at Costco today for $99. The price drop doesn't bother me (well, not overly). It's the fact that he's buying the printer BECAUSE HE'S OUT OF INK ON HIS OLDER, PERFECTLY WORKING PRINTER!
