Dell printers

Anyone here ever bought a Dell printer? I have a Dell 2400 and was
looking at them online. However, my enthusiasm quickly faded when I
realized I would have to buy the ink cartridges directly from Dell. At
least with a HP, Canon or Epson printer I can get replacement cartridges
from various sources.

I thought that Dell printers were just retagged Lexmark printers. If this is
the case, maybe you find the appropriate remanufactured Lexmark cartridges.

Dell printers, at least the inkjets, are made by Lexmark. Check Lexmark
reviews for equivelent models. The problem is, the Dell printer have been
modified so you CANNOT use Lexmark cartridges. You need to either refill,
find a remanufactured Dell cartridge, or buy ONLY from Dell. I don't know
what the modifications are or if it's possible to modify a Lexmark
cartridge to work in a Dell.

Generally, Lexmark has not had good reviews the past few years. In
particular, it tends to have the highest per-page ink costs.

And, as someone who used one, their paper and transport is
appalling.
