This post was very nice and thoughtful. :) The printer is an interesting story: our other printer has been out of ink for several months and we are getting really close to a need to use it. While at Target, I happened to stroll through the computer department, with hopes that ink would be cheap. No such luck, since we needed both black and color cartridges, the cost would have been over $60. Being the frugal shopper I am, I glanced down the alse at the printers, hoping something would jump out. There happened to be one that stood out: the Lexmark z611 had an unbelievable price of $24.99! I thought "heck, I can just buy a new printer and it would still be cheaper." Here's what I found out after hooking it up and why you should actually read the information on the packaging carefully. Basically, it only came with a small color cartridge, no black one. And because of it's somewhat limited abilities (i.e it's a el-cheapo), we cannot print in black, because it is unable to mix the colors appropriately. Guess how much a black cartridge is? $30! Putting the price at nearly the same as it would have been to buy new ink for the old printer. Such is the luck. :) Thank you honey. This post was very nice and thoughtful. :)
