    Printer for son

    Check out your local Staples store. Canon is discontinuing the Pixma iP4300 (5 color: pigment black and dye based k, c, m, y). I found one at my local store for $69, brand new in the box with full set of cartridges. Great printer, although it does take the chipped cartridges.
