Excuse me if this is well discussed, but at least a link would be handy.
I do just B&W printing (mostly text), and have been refilling my own cartridges for many years. I figure I pay about 40 cents per refill, and routinely use cartridges for several years, and dozens of reams of paper from each one. Given that, I'm not really interested in a laser printer. My per-page costs are miniscule. I've had much success with Canon, and have been using an MP280 (PG-210 cartridges) for a few years. Of course, the trick to economizing here is using unchipped cartridges, which the MP-210 are. Now, I'm not in the market for a new printer right now, but I was just curious if there is some handy list of which printers use unchipped (and presumably refillable) cartridges. Does Canon still market any? I've heard that Brother cartridges aren't chipped.
A list. Where's a list? There must be a list! I suspect many printer manufacturers don't want there to be such a list.
