And of course they only print about 10 sheets of text before the black runs out, and can't be refilled.
Dunno what Lexmark printer you`re on about, but my parents Lexmark scanner/printer can be refilled.
Although saying that, my mum nearly had a heart attack when she saw the price of a replacement cartridge and bought a refill kit (despite my usual ignored advice).
After that, it`d always print streaky until it`d been told to do a proper head clean, plus the more you use it, the more it leaked inside :pissed:
Slashdot also have a story on this "spyware"
linkety link. Several posters have said that the packets sent back include the printers serial number, and that the same number is on the warranty card you have to send back to them.. so in theory they could match up the 2 databases.. so much for privacy huh ?
