Yes, I pop over to Staples, which is about 50' out of my way several
times a week. I'm on my second replacment cartridge for my HP1200 in
something like 5 years, at just C$90 each. And the drum gets replaced
each time, so the quality doesn't suffer.

Total pages printed: 6979
Pages jammed in printer: 6

Had a few more jams since I started using thinner dirt-cheap Sam's
club 20lb paper. Made in Sweden. They must be using Russki logs or
something. ;-) HP ultra-bright all-purpose 22lb paper is nicer.
