Our printer obviously doesn't know which side his bread is buttered. He has this habit of running out of ink when my husband needs to print something important. A few months ago, my husband had to submit a document printed in blue ink because the black cartridge ran out. BLUE INK!
The same thing almost happened this morning. Luckily, I learned from the last time and had extra cartridges ready.
Do you know how long your inks last? I don't but I'll find out soon. (I hope not that soon)

Thanks for the reminder!! Need to keep extra ink on hand.
We use a Samsung printer that uses a toner (?). I think it's cheaper and lasts longer. The Husband likes using it.
But we have an hp as well since I like printing my documents with color. :-D
Next question. Is it okay to use ink cartridges that aren't the original ones. There are ink refill stations, diba? Are those okay?
I tried refills twice but I went back to using original cartridges. The refills dry up while still half-full. I called the refill center and they asked me to dip the end of the cartridge in warm water. It worked but I had to keep on doing that every time I print. Too much trouble for me.
Have you considered investing in a Continuous Ink Supply System? Haven't tried it myself (since i hardly have had any need to print at home, hehe), but the reviews seem to be positive. A quick google reveals these two top distributor links: here and here. While the wiki entry seems to suggest that it's brand-specific the links state otherwise. ;-)
My friend "Teacher J" uses one. I think she's very happy with it. Maybe I can ask her to do a guest post on continuous inks. I myself don't like it for the simple reason that it looks ugly. The ink is located outside the printer!
Hey Mrs. G! Ran into this article over at Slate, and I remembered your post about printers. :-)
