Not really. Logic joke is that fact but if they were full when new then the printer would cost £200 ($400) more) or thereabouts. Remember you have only paid about $200 for the ink in the printer and $300 for the printer - buy a new printer and all you get is a new printer 1/2 full which is exactly what you already have. > >I have always liked HP printers and have several, but cost of refills >has to figure into my final choice. The HP colour lasers we have in school are not impressive in any way. Slow, Expensive, LARGE, Heavy and no paper tray which is an extra @ $150 or thereabouts.
