I hear what you are saying, but I guess we can stop this thread now, because
what people are saying is irrelevant to my situation.

When one has literally no money to spend, one
must make do with what is
available. I hear what everybody is saying about laser printers, but that
is not an option.
then go to the copy shop, you can print for about 5cent
There are refillable cartridges, and refill
bottles. I doubt that they
can dry up. My old HP cartridges dried up because they sat in a storage
space for a couple years. These won't dry up (at least, not so fast),
because I will use them now.
This is BS. Just compare cartridge price/printer price for ink and you'll
see that in 2 years you spent more on cartridges
I'm only asking if anybody else has tried
these refillables. I don't want
advice that I *ought* to buy a laser printer, when I cannot do so.
Yes, they are complete BS - forget it!
Alternative could be dot matrix printer (it is a bit noisy), higher price,
but low material cost. I bought one in 1996 and it is still working.
I bought HP 5L LJ in 1999 and I threw it away last year - it was not worth
repearing. I bought two cartridges for €70,- each - makes 7€ per year for
the cartridge. Just calculate total cost + material cost per intended
period of use. You'll notice that prices have gone high in the past year,
but most people can not calculate any way.
I now bought a HP 402dn which prints 40 times faster than the 5L and cost
200,-. The cartridge would cost 100,- in 5-10y, so I guess I will have avg.
cost of 30,- per year - this is definitely not much. There are also cheaper
LJ printers, but I like HP and can write it off anyway.
If you don't have money - earn money and buy something good instead a cheap
sh*t that will give you headache - or just leave it.
