I have generic ink left over from my R200 that appears to be dead.

I am trying to find somewhere online to get one of the following printers ( that appear to use the same ink cartridge ):

R200
RX500

I have found these models at NCIX, however they are over $300, so they are out of the question:
RX620
RX600

I don't see the outdated R200 or RX500 at Futureshop or Staples.

I'd be open to a refurbished R200, for the right price. It doesn't even need ink.

One thing that was suggested is that the new printers might not handle generic ink, so if you know that for certain, feedback would be great.

Suggestions anyone?

what about the r300, or r340? I have an r300 and it uses the same ink.
I'm not sure if the r340 uses the same cartridges though.
Staples had the r300 on liquidation for $77 a while ago. Not sure if you can still find one or not.

I will look for R300 also then. I was just going by what one site said the cartridge was compatible with ( it didn't list the R300 )


Edit: Nothing showing at Staples online - I will have to check in store.
