Thanks for the bad news. I also had a bit more bad news about this printer -
The ink cartridges are $74 each - Wow. Think I'll just put it back on my
Spare Parts shelf.
Thanks DF

The cartridges are $35.99 USD at www.hp.com. If you are being quoted $74 each
I hope it is in a currency other then US Dollars....

On the other hand, better print quality can be had on many of the recent photo
printers, some that cost under $100 such as the Photosmart 7150 or 7260. The
original Photosmart came out about 6 years ago and things have progressed quite
a bit in those years. The droplet size for the #57 & 59 cartridges used in the
recent Photosmart printers is about 1/5 the size of those in the #844/845
cartridges used in the original photosmart.

Thanks for the info Bob.
The Dollars are Canadian funds and that price does not include our
rediculous taxes. 8% provincial Tax plus 7% GST Tax.
I think I'll get a new printer. Cheaper in the long run and as you say -
Better quality.
Thanks again.
Ron

PS - Even though you are not talking for HP - I will get another HP. My real
old 712c is still working Great - Bought it in late 1998.

If that lot put's you off then don't come to live here in Ireland,
our VAT is 21%, your only paying a total of 15%, to me that's cheap.
However the price of new cartridges is as you say rediculous.

It does make better sense to just get a new printer when you run
out.:-(

Hey Jonathan
What does the VAT satnd for ?

I think most governments are making taxes way too high. They always talk
about improving the economy but when taxes are so high I'm sure it stops a
lot of people from buying products etc.
