    Tell me about it. I work for a printer manufacturing company, and we make virtually nothing on the printers themselves. There is an enormous profit margin on the ink, on the other hand - without it we'd be nowhere. Hence, my company goes to a fair amount of trouble to make sure that third-party stuff won't work properly with our printers (i.e if it works at all you get faded colours).

    I bet if enough people started doing this, the manufacturers would relent on ink cartridge prices.

    They already know about this. The printers available these days have very little ink in them. It's called a demo ink cartridge.
