What is your adversion to refurbished or knockoff equipment? Without much checking I found a drum for $60 and toner for $30 which is the same price as a refurbished printer, which I assume the $100 printer you write about would be, but for the same price you end up helping the environment. Still I do fault the manufacturer on this one for the pricing structure that does encourage dumping printers (that said - maybe you can sell your original printer to a refurbisher).
