Anyone have a need for 225/26 cartridges? Brand new, got the wrong ones and didn't notice until I'd opened one...
First I'll take 'em gets 'em.

My wife and I prefer black and white laser printers. Cost per page is the motivator. Our main printer is an HP Laserjet 6MP from about 1999. Slow and indestructible.

Ink is a racket for sure. I'd seen printers that would halt printing with half full cartridges because they reach a certain page count. SO dumb, such a waste, not only of money.
And the chipped cartridges lock you out of refilling or buying alternate brands of ink? I mean seriously its come to this?
Canon doesn't seem as bad about it as some of the other brands. I believe they still use optical sensors on their new models to see the physical ink levels.

Do you have 225 cartridges or is that part of a model number?
I'm awash in printers, faxes/all-in-ones. In the attic:
A Brother sheet feed copy/fax/printer, laser model.
An HP sheet feed copy/fax/printer, laser model.
One of the HP's portable/battery ones.
One el cheapo HP $40 emergency buy.
One el cheapo Canon $50 emergency buy.
A DeskJet 782 that is pretty much unstoppable.
All of these work, and are stored right next to my 17" and 15" CRT monitors.
In my office:
An HP M2727nf mono laser, I like it a lot, but the auto paper feed has lost grip.
An HP 2605dn color laser that my teacher wife is addicted to. Teachers Pay Teachers stuff is all about color.
I've gone out and bought aftermarket memory for the two lasers, and it really helps speed things up on large files.
An HP large-format DeskJet, because printing on construction paper saves a ton of paper by not having to cut it to fit a printer.
This is what happens when the budget for all classroom materials is $40 per year, per teacher, total.

I hear you. I've gone on line and found work-arounds for the shut-down of some printers due to ink volume.
I've seen mixed results with drilling a hole and refilling "sealed" cartridges.
HP is the biggest miscreant in this, openly admits they lose money on the sale of manufactured printers, but make it back up on proprietary cartridges and toner.
