What I did to get a decent supply of cartridges for my HP 560C (paid
$7.00 for it at Goodwill) was buy up more printers at the thrift stores
averaging around $5 - $7 each (half that sometimes depending on what
color tag is on sale), pull out the cartridges, then redonate the
printers.  One of them even had a couple extra sealed cartridges (2
black and one color.)  So I'm set for a while.
