What happens when you go buy ink

  Mostly true, but printers don't tend to come with full ink cartridges, whereas stand alone cartridges are full.

    Though with ink "drying out" (either for real, or digitally expiring) it probably does make sense for some particularly low-intensity users. I'm guessing at least part of the price disparity is that they assume anyone with a clue will shop around and order online in advance of running out, whereas a harassed, last-minute shopper will gladly pay over the odds for the ink they need for their current printer rather than deal with the horror of installing new printer drivers in XP.
