Can check if Costco will refill them.EnyCe wrote: ↑ You're welcome, it's not a bad printer but it's not the best either. It's in excellent shape with no issues. The printer originally did not come with a printer cable (USB A/B), so I threw one in. Setting up the Wi-Fi connection may be as bit confusing (especially for the older generation adults) but if she doesn't want to use wireless, the cable is there should she prefer wired. Either way, all manuals and CD's were included if there's any concerns.
I also left the original empty cartridges in there so she can refer to which specific model of ink she needs from Staples and/or should she wish to refill it at Island Inkjet. Just beware that if you do "refill" it, there's no guarantee it would work (I've never tried). Most inkjet toners nowadays have a special chip inside that detects the level of ink. Once it depletes, the chip won't read anymore and your computer will keep telling you it's out of ink and will refuse to print despite that you "refilled" it. This is to ensure the level of quality is consistent. If it doesn't work, the guys at Island Inkjet won't refund your money so YMMV.
Anyways, hope she likes it and I'm sorry to hear of her bad experience. Brother actually makes very good printer products as I upgraded to a Brother laser printer myself. I enjoy helping others and I hope this post encourages others to do the same.
Believe they only refill OEM cartridges.
