Well, around here, provided one buys the remanufactured / refilled
cartridges / toners from someone that knows his work, the savings after two
or three cartridges are so good that if in the 4th or 5th the printer has a
problem, we can throw it away without remorse. And if we can get, like, 10
cartridge exchanges in it, the savings alow allow for buying a new printer.
The prices they charge for original brand cartridges are insane... I agree
the original ones have better quality, but I have had problem with defective
ones also, and the trouble to make the store change them, or pay for the
printer fixing, was the same that I would have with the people that
remanufacture cartridges, so not that much faith in the "original brand"
mantra.

Same thing here with re-manufactured toner cartridges.
Sales guy says they are great.
We say, we've had problem in the past with the cartridges coming apart
in the printer and spilling toner everywhere. Sales guy puts in
writing, if that happens we will come clean the printer. After 2 or
more trips here to clean printers, we've not heard from them again.
Well, MY experience has been the opposite on the toner cartridges... Non-
OEM seems to work pretty well for the ones that aren't under maintenance
(Lexmark & Dell laser printers and Brother Laser MFPs.) We just have not
had much luck with "remanufactured" inkjet cartridges... they appear to be
full, but the printers can't / don't print with the remanufactured ink
cartridges. *shrug*
