Ink cartridges killing my pockets!

[Gait_Keeper]

I have an printer/scanner/copier Xerox XK40c the cartridges are $42 and $46, (I'm running 98se)

I'm about to upgrade to XP pro, this machine does not have updated drivers for XP

So could some one recommend a all in one with cartridges that won't kill my pockets?

Not sure about all in ones but I always buy Epson printers so I can use generic cartridges that cost about $4 each. Find a couple models of Canon or Epson all in ones and then look for compatible cartridges at www.extracartridges.com
Canon and Epson are the 2 companies that are most likely to use generic cartridges. FYI, the printer division of HP is considered the most valuable part of the company due to its ability to generate high profits from ink sales. They give you a printer at cost and then hose you on the ink.

yeah they always sell the printers for cheap then you have to buy expensive ink cartridges.

It's the old Gillette razor ploy. You can give the razors away; they still have to buy the blades.

This is why I have a laser printer.

Decided to give elroy's link a try---I need Photo ink, ive been dis-satisfied before in other then Epson OEM, but these ones are at least USA made---worth a try...

you can buy refurbished ink cartrages for hp and it is much less messy than refilling your own

[Gait_Keeper]

I don't think the one for my machine are refillable

bla ck

I'll try the refill path if it saves money

but i still have to get an XP compatible machine, one with inexpensive refills

I use epson cuz of the low cost.

www.meritline.com also have ordered from
www.all-ink.com but it went a little shaky, I did finally get the cartridge though, lol

Yes, you can refill the Xerox carts. I did it with my C6 'til it died. I did a search for Xerox XK40c and came up empty. Are you sure that's the model no.
. Must be one they didn't sell in the states. Found XP driver for it on the Xerox Brazil web site.
