What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink?

Posted by timothy on from the buy-more-printers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A family member recently asked me to pick up more ink for her Epson Photo RX 595. Unfortunately, replacing the black and color ink cartridges costs $81.92 + tax at the local store! That's so bad that I got a replacement printer that's just as good, and spare ink, for less. But now I have a useless piece of e-waste that I can't even give away. What can you do with a printer like that? I hate to just throw it away."

    > The printer that you buy with ink comes with cartridges that are, at most, half full.

    I think you'll find that they're half empty.
