Make that a $40 set of three carts for the "free" printer
that came with you new PC... Except they somehow forgot to
put the $28 parallel or USB cable in the bundle, so would
you like to purchase one now so you an print when you get home?
It'll print about 50 pages for "free" and then you'll be
getting "low ink warnings" (tied directly via the Internet
to the finance department of the printer company) until
you refill. It's often cheaper to get a new printer
because of some insane rebate scheme.
For a classic note, visit http://www.cfriends.com/ for
reinking supplies. Remember the MacInker? Same folks.
