				 Re: OT: suggest a printer 
 Thanks.  Well, I hope that's the case with my printer; I guess I'll know when I print more pages.  I don't think I'm going to remove the cartridge to see how full it is because the printer user manual said it's not a good idea to remove and re-insert the cartridge.  Hopefully, this printer doesn't rely on the software to know when the ink is empty.  
 Another way to refill the cartridge is to buy a do-it-yourself refill kit that comes with bottles of ink, a syringe and a drill.  You're supposed to make a hole in the used cartridge and fill it up with new ink using the syringe.  This is really inexpensive, but I'm not sure about doing this because I don't know if the ink that comes in the kit is compatible with the printer.
