[AT] OT HP printer supplies ripoff

[charlie hill]

I agree Henry.  I just need to find out if the new ones come with full high 
yield toner cartridges like the one I have did.  If so it's a better deal to 
buy a new one and throw the old one away.  I hate like crazy to do that to a 
perfectly good printer but that's the way things are now.  We live in a 
throw away society.   I sure am glad it wasn't that way when our old iron 
was made.
