I got "screwed" by buying a Dell ink jet printer when I found out it came with 
"trial" cartridges which from what I hear are about 1/4 the size of the real ones. 
    The cartridges had part numbers and item numbers and some other number, but I 
couldn't find any of them anywhere on the web (which makes sense - there is no 
reason anyone would want to buy them.)

On the Samsung, what is the part number of the included cartridge?  (basically, is 
it a normal capacity or some goofy sample size like the dell.)

btw - I think it is great that you are promoting unix friendly companies - I keep 
wanting to make a web site based on that concept.
