Beware that some otherwise very neat printers are specificaaly set up to make it hard for you to refill the cartridges.
You can beat this system - I did it with our HP 5150 - and print for practically nothing by refilling your own cartridges.
With the HP 5xxx series, the printer rememebrs how much ink it has used from each cartridge. So if you refill one & put it back in, it refuses to use it, insisiting it is empty.
But it only has memory for 2 cartridges. We bought three and cycle them round in a circle. It has thus 'forgotten' about the first one by the time you get back to it. So far have used about 2 pints of ink, must be hundreds of refills, for total cost of 3 cartridges + about $10 USD for the ink.
