I was going to have to buy the ink off dell.com at $31 for the color, and $28 for the black and white cartridges. Quite steep paying $60 just to print, huh? I can't just get them locally because Dell only sells their ink on their website. Then I walked into Walmart trying to find some power strips. Right next to the door they had the Lexmark X1240 All-in-one printer (link is for its big brother, and the reason it was so cheap). This printer cost only $25, cheaper than even one of Dell's cartridges so I grabbed it.

The irony...
The irony is that Dell uses rebranded printers for their own. This means they take the other company's printer, make it look a bit different and only accept Dell ink. More to the point, my "A920" is a Lexmark X1150... basically the little brother of the printer I just bought. Yup, I got my "Dell" ink real cheap this year, and I'll never buy their ink again! Oh, and Lexmark ink is $20 a cartridge, but thanks to some places giving coupons in return for empty ink cartridges and refilling empty cartridges, this becomes much cheaper.
