I have in the past dumped a printer on the grounds that the ink is too expensive.
Just make sure that the printer is on special offer and that the box contains both cartridges.
Once the first set of cartridges have run out the printer is effectively second hand and is only worth half the the price you paid.
If the new cartridges cost more than this dump it and save yourself the trouble of failure after the new cartridges have been bought.
I have an all in one that has been kept for the scanner and nothing else and even then bound books do not scan too well if the print is close to the spine.
I am getting the feeling that the life of a printer is about two sets of cartridges and that is your lot.
