Even if you don't think you'll use it for copying, you'll find if you have one (copier)you probably will. I have an HP all in one that I've had for years. It was higher end ($250 or so at the time, but prices have droppped considerably) and works like a charm. If you are not concerned with 'perfect' print quality, refilling the cartridges is the way to go. WAAAY cheaper than new cartidges.maybe you don't want that but it allows me to copy pages from fly fishing[tying] magazines, books, etc....also just copy them or any documents...fax , scan all that stuff
