Yup. I ordered a set when they hit critically low. And replaced the |
| 7 |
yellow when it started looking naff. The other colours still look fine. |

The printer has been registered for its "free" 3-yr warranty, but it's a |
| 9 |
requirement that you must use only genuine HP cartridges. So I'm |
| 10 |
reckoning that once this first set of replacement cartridges runs out, |
| 11 |
the printer will be over three years old. The second set of cartridges |
| 12 |
will be compatibiles, and if I pay £20 instead of £100 per cartridge, |
| 13 |
that'll save me enough to buy a new printer if the old one breaks. I |
| 14 |
think the set of four XL cartridges cost more than the printer did! |

Printers don't seem to last nowadays, anyway. I remember somebody asking |
| 17 |
about "old printers", and there were no "medium age" printers - they |
| 18 |
were all either less than five years old, or ancient LaserJet 4 era |
| 19 |
printers. Anything in-between had died (or, like one of my old printers, |
| 20 |
been sunk by production of consumables stopping). |
