[BC] Ordering Printer Ink Online

[Tom]

This is another case of YMMV... I've never had any problems with the 
generic Office Depot cartridges.  I have an issue with the 812C on my 
desk not printing colors correctly, but it's not the cartridge (I had 
that thought, and put an HP cartridge in, just to check.).  No 
difference.  I suspect somewhere there's a gate that's shorted itself - 
all color images come out with a sepia-like overtone.  Black works fine, 
though, and since about 99% of what I print is text... I'm not going to 
worry about it too much just yet.
