OT: printer cartridges
Ran out of printer ink around 10ish tonight, so I spent the next hour chatting with the model train guy across the hallway. Cartridges came up. He said, "Doesn't the Walmart 15 minutes from here have them?" I said sure and maybe I'd go there tomorrow. He said, "They're 24 hours." Doh! I had no idea. 20 minutes later I had the cartridge. :)

I don't recall which printer you have, but it might be worthwhile to invest in a CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System), if one is available for that printer. Often available for less than $35, it will go for (often) years on a tank of ink, eliminate the need for frequent ink cartridge purchases. I've been using one for years on an Epson Photo Stylus R380.

Interesting! Never heard of that. Will definitely look into it. We have an Epson WF-7610.

Evan, This is the sort of thing you can get (not tried them myself):- http://www.ebay.com/itm/262179275941 worthwhile if you are doing much printing. Probably let you do lots of printing for others as well... Dave
