Brett your friend may have done themselves a mis-service as most new printers now only come with half filled ink cartridges or toners. (Of course if they were replacing an ancient printer then that wasn't necessarily a bad idea but I tend to use compatible cartridges on old printers because it doesn't matter if the cartridges clog up the print head and break the printer) Anyhow Ted, what kind of printer are you after? does it have to be inkjet?
I know that :) He apparently doesn't, and generally, it's only ~ third filled with new printers... He did replace the printer with an all in one jobby though, so it's not all bad.
Compatible carts are going to be used in it RSN, as we're being given the poor old thing, and the compat carts are ~ 20 quid for 4 black + 4 colour, so that'll do... there's not a hell of a lot of printing going on there, so they'll last "some time". As for clogging up printheads, feh, who cares, I find that I've broken the printer well before the point where the printheads are knackered ;)
