Some years back I could usually find a cheap HP printer on sale for around $30. For the amount of printing I did, the starter ink would usually dry up before it was empty, and new ink cartridges would run over $40. It was more cost effective for me to throw away the printer and buy a new one instead of replacing the ink.
