Janette I'm just glad I could help and thats enough of a treat for me *lol* Staples now goes on the list along with Office Depot as a business that DOES work with a customer even if the customer made a mistake in the first place! Now days you gotta love it :o) BTW, Office Depot also gives "Rewards" now instead of instant credit. I wasn't happy with it either, but when I get the cash card in the mail every 3 months I really do appreciate it. Especially when I go through about 7-10 ink cartridges per week. They just don't take Epson for the $3.00 credit and thats my main printer. Alls I get is 10% of the cost. Better then nothing though. Happy printing! MsM84 (aka: Photos by Ms.Mary)

Indeed, an antique thread resurrected. A number of misdirected answers, the OP was talking about a Brother monochromatic (ie black/gray) laser printer. Most laser toner cartridges are good for thousands of copies. Third party compatible toner cartridges bought from a reliable source (Staples, Office Max, etc) are excellent and cheap. A home/non business user who prints things frivolously is unlikely to have to spend much money on replacement toner cartridges. I've suggested before, I think it's much cheaper and easier to make the occasionally required color copies/prints/photos at Fed Ex or drug stores than to struggle with color ink jets at home. Or, for someone who frequently makes a small number of color pages, have a laser for daily use and restrict the color printer to color pages. All this equipment is cheap, it's the ink jet cartridges that are ridiculously expensive.

No, Joan it won't let me do that either ! Today I received a reply to my e-mail to Walmart. "Thank you for contacting Walmart.com regarding the problem in placing an order for the desired item.

I researched this recently when running low on ink for my Canon photo printer. What I learned, at least for this particular printer, is that there's no clear answer. Some people reported excellent results from refilling the cartridges, while others said "never again!" One thing I realized is that one person's satisfaction in the quality of a given print can be another person's disappointment. In the end I decided to buy Canon inks, and I got the best price on Amazon. Here's one idea: Go to Amazon and look up the recommended HP inks. Take a look at the consumer reviews. It's possible you'll see some comments about other options. Also, you might check out DPReview's Printers and Printing Forum. Do a search on HP ink or the model number of your printer and see what has been discussed. DPReview is a great resource.
