I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this. I have had a great inexpensive Cannon Mp190. It prints and scans, exactly everything I need for my jobs and my coupons. Now I ran into a problem where the printer will no longer work with just a black cartrdige, and purchasing another color cartridge may not solve the problem. A newer version of the same printer is only like $38 at Wallyworld. Not sure now much a color cartridge is, but I am thinking it would be cheaper all the way around to get a newer printer/scanner. I had just opened a brand new black ink cartridge.. hasn't been used. ![]() So, before I purchase the same brand, only newer version I thought I would ask if anyone recently purchased a good printer/scanner that runs only on black ink, or is inexpensive? Any thoughts or pointers? |

Have you guys tried refilling your ink cartridges . I buy my black ink in a 8 or 12 oz bottle for just 20 dollars and it works just fine . I have the canon printers from walmart also the pixma mp250 and it works just fine and have lasted a long tome also . Im able to refil about 10 times befor print quality is affected and I always refill before its out of ink .

It seems that at least with the Kodak printer the cartridges have a chip in them that counts the pages and even if you refill them it still says it's emtpy! Grrr. Also the one I have at least (cheap from Walmart) *uses* color ink to print black. Why I dont know so when the color is out it wont print ANYTHING. another GRR.

the canon pixma from walmart has a reset button and if you hold it it will reset the ink light is still on but that will still allow it to print

If you want just a b/w printer/scanner I would suggest going with a Brother multifunction that is laser. We use one as a fax machine at our office and the cartridge lasts forever. If not a Brother then I would go with a HP. I avoid Epson, Lexmark & most of the others. If you check out a laser it will cost more initially but you will save in the long run with the cost of inkjet cartridges verses a laser cartridge that lasts for a lot longer. Also on a laser when it is near being empty take the cartridge out and shake it and put it back in and you will get quite a bit more use out of it before it is empty. |

The canon printer from walmart still show as empty after being refilled but if you hold the reset button for 5 seconds it resets and allows you to continue printing

i do not recommend getting the cheapest printer strictly because that often means it has the most expensive ink. We recently got an HP Photosmart Wireless All-in-one and it has been wonderful! the ink is super reasonable too which was the main reason we bought it. Look at the cost of replacement cartridges before you buy!!!
