Well, I need a new all in one printer (print,scan,copy,(fax...don't really care)) I want one that dont have tiny over priced ink, Ive seen some ink that are tiny and cost bout the same as bigger ones. but then i guess it also depends on how much they out in. I've also heard of some printers says you are out of ink, but your not really out u can still print about 10-30 pages. So maybe I might look for a printer that is more friendly on refillable ink, but most printers have protection on them now. Except for some Lexmark printers, they say your out of ink even if u refill but it still works. So does anyone have any suggestions(links to newegg.com plz.), comments, or past experience on this?
Edit: Now that I think about it, I might need a printer that can be connected to 2 computers, through the network or w/e. This isn't really important though

Thanks!

Try this one. I personally have this one and it works well. Pretty much does it all and has networking capabilities as well as excellent photo printing (if your into that).
The type of printer that has no chipped ink cartridges is pretty much extinct. If you refill they will still print but you void the warranty. Nice way for the printer companies to rake in some cash. This is how they make their money due to the printers themselves being so low in cost.

Yea, but i've heard about some printers that if u refill, they will not print, some protect it with alot of different ways, they first had the serial number thing, which can be cleared. Then they had weird fuse things that die when ink is gone so it cannot print if refilled. I'm not too sure, i dont care bout the cost of the ink, its jst some of them that are extremely over priced, and don't last really long. Btw have u ever refilled with this printer before?

Thanks for the reply.
