I bought an Epson Stylus C62 several years ago which runs off LPT1 via
cups and works well but I was surprised to find that although I could
squirt some black ink into the cartridge when needed the printer would
not print. It contains a memory device that must be reset. I
eventually had to buy a gadget to reset it for about $20. Refilling is
convenient for me, it may not be a consideration for you but better to
know about it before buying.
I have a newer HP6840 [eth/usb/wireless] which is still running on the
original cartridges which are nearing the empty mark. I don't know if
they are similarly equipped? I did buy spares for it though, still in
an emergency it's convenient to be able to refill them and a whole lot
less expensive. The refilled cartridges have work well for me and that
would be a consideration.
