Do all printers come with ink cartridges?

I am having problems with my printer?!? It seems cheaper to get a new printer but do they come with cartridges? It does not seem to state anywhere?Do all printers come with ink cartridges?
The answers you got are correct of course but they don't give you the correct solution.





If the printer you are offered without cartridges is, for example a Canon IP6000 at $40 then it is a bargain since you would pay $150 at a store with cartridges included.





And supposing you did buy a used printer with cartridges installed. They might be half used up or almost empty.





As for having to pay $45 for a new set, this happens only once because you can easily refill those cartidges (as I have) dozens of times.





I buy (and you can too at any bulk site) a 500 ml bottle of any color for $17. ($20 by the time you get it delivered). Since a cartridge takes 9 ml to fill it you will get 50 fills for the $20.





I fill my six cartridges for about $2.00 each time. I print dozens of full color pictures as well as colored documents and am still using the cartridges I bought two years ago.





Of course you have to learn to fill them. It takes some care with those 25cents syringes and cellophane tape over the outlet etc but it is well worth it if you print a lot.





If not then just buy the refilled ones at about $5 each at the bulk ink sites.

Not all of them do anymore actually, most printer companies have gotten wise to the fact that people are just simply replacing their printers.





Some will ship with black only, some with color only, some with none at all. It will tell you on the side of the box what is included in the box.





Keep in mind with any printer purchased the cartridge you will get is a trial cartridge. A trial cartridge has a fraction of the ink of the cartridge you would buy in a store, generally less than half.





It actually really is not worth it to replace the printer in most cases (unless you have a lexmark, all lexmarks should be replaced with printers that don't suck)
All of the printers I've seen (inkjet or laserjet) come with printer cartridges. Realize that Inkjet cartridges are super expensive while the inkjet printer itself is cheap. Laserjets are expensive while the cartridges are cheap because they print out 1000-5000 sheets (where as inkjet averages 400 or so).





To answer your question: yes unless you buy it used then it could be in any condition.
I would suggest getting a new printer and buying a continuous ink system instead individual cartridges...it is equal to 61 cartridges of each color so the need to refill it is alot less often. They are easy to install and not messy at all...it took me about 5 minutes to get mine completely installed and when I need to refill it the tanks are outside of my printer so there is no need to remove the cartridges. The cartridges are also set with non-expiring chips so there is no need to reset the printer. I am very please with the quality of the ink also. It has saved me a fortune. The best place I found that has all printer models and I bought mine here http://www.printer-ink-cartridge-refills鈥?/a> Printer Ink Cartridge Refills and Continuous Ink Systems





Good luck and happy printing :-)
All new printers have ink cartridges. You'd have to go to e-bay to find one without. And actually, they practically give away the new printers and charge for the ink. That's why it's cheaper to get a new one - and skip ever trying to get one repaired.
Most do. I actually know a person that bought 6 printers on clearance for $25 each. The ink is around $45 to replace both. He installed one, took the ink out of the other 5, and sold them on Ebay for $15 to $20 each. Smart guy.
The most printers come with ink cartridges, but sometimes they aren't filled 100%.
