TECH: Printer/Scanner Concerns

[dewline]

I bought an OfficeJet 7612 last year because (a) it was on sale and (b) it had a scanner that can handle 11 x 17 art boards. The colour printer was a bonus to me.

I just started experimenting with having my printer ink cartridges refilled by a third party rather than flat-out replacing them in expectation of future need re: the C+M+Y cartridges running empty soonish. If I start having problems as a consequence of the details of this BBC story, that OfficeJet 7612 will still see usage for scanning art boards. But I won't be happy, and I won't want to buy another HP product.
