> endmac.com/services/ I shudder at the thought of a refill or store brand ink jet cartridge after I had one from Office Depot leak into one of my legacy HP 560 printers and to hear the printer repair company say that it was beyond saving. I'll never again buy a non brand name or refill again. But that's just me. I also have a Cannon MP120 scan print super machine and cheap. Even a Cave Man can scan perfectly with it. I run it on all my machines via sharing, Tiger to Snow Leopard.
