Friendly service for ya OP.
It is quite wasteful how printers behave these days. :\\ Very wasteful indeed.
Edit: <3 HP printers that don't waste ink. Mine will continue to print, and try to print, long after the silly cartridges are so dry nothing comes out. I've run the red and blue completely dry on the tricolor before, and the silly thing still printed...

Laser > Inkjet FTW

Not when you have to buy 3x the amount of ink as you do toner

well in america at bby, epson ink is about 13.45 for the 3 colors and i belive around 15 or 16 for the black. So buying all the colors at once takes a big hit on the pocket.
Kodak printers however they cost 23 dollars for both color and black combo pack and last a bit longer than other. Its only 10 bucks for the black if you just run out of only black.

Also for epson printers there is this neat program to trick the printer in thinking its still got ink so it keeps printing from that ink left over like said in the article. |

As soon as my printer says the ink is low it won't print at all, but there's still a good half tablespoon of ink left in there.

Surprised they didn't test Lexmark. Their low ink warnings go off when you just pass the 3/4 full mark
