time to buy your refill kits and reuse the same cartridge multiple times.
I've been doing this since the late 80's with both toner and ink cartridges.
Of course HP will blow a lot of smoke in the air threatening a warranty will
be voided if you do this but I say the first cartridge will outlast their 90
warranty so what difference does it make.

Brian Eickholt, brings forth a word of caution: "HP has recently been fixing
the lower-priced printers so their consumables don't last as long. The three
HP printers I know about are the 612C, 812C and the 940. All three of these
printers use a special black cartridge that looks like a normal cartridge,
but only holds 21ml of ink in comparison to 42ml of ink for the standard
cartridges. The printers are designed to only accept these special
cartridges and cannot use the standard cartridge. The kicker is that both
cartridges usually cost the same price at the store, so in the end, you pay
twice as much for the same amount of ink.
