I was considering repairing a deskjet, but the price of ink cartridges was
kinda steep. The best price that I've seen for reliable cartridges (after
trying several "rebuilt" ones that were NFG), was $40 for both a new color
one and a new B&W one. But the $40 deal also included a new printer.
That kinda took away some of the incentive to repair the old printer.
If I'm not mistaken, the 540 takes the green top cartridges, like the
original Deskjet minus and Deskjet plus, although the case of the 540 is
like the case of the 600 series that use the blue top cartridges.
