Just a note of warning for ink-jet users: Quite a few years ago, I had an
ink-jet
printer--I don't remember the name--and I thought I'd save some money by buying
a
cheap replacement ink cartridge. Well, it clogged up the works, and I could not
fix it. I had to throw the printer out! So go with the manufacturer's ink, even
if
it is expensive. It's cheaper than a new printer!
For HP LaserJets: I think, altho I'm not sure, that off-brand toners will not
work
in an HP machine. I think they code their cartridges. Anyone know better?
