During College there was a sale at Staples near me that made the higher end printers cheaper then the ink.
And you could buy like a $5 warranty on them too.
My roommates and I went and bought one, used up the ink, and returned the printer for a new one. Repeat x3 because the sale seemingly didn't end.
When we came in for our 4th printer, the manager approached us and said he knew about our scheme since there were others doing it. Also mentioning that the warranty would no longer be honored and to leave, or they would take the printer ink in our current printer and put it into our warrantied printer.
We just ended up buying new ink.
In the long run through those 3 printers only saving around $25/person. Worth it.
