For the M2727nf, you can get the 7,000-page cartridges (remanufactured) for ~$36 from Meritline.com, or two for $60 and change (coming out to ~$30 each), which is a decent price IMHO.The major problem with all remanufactured is that they might have toner of different quality. Some will be too light, others too dark. Never know before you buy. The best deal is to buy the OEM toner and change it yourself, but I don't see that available anywhere in the U.S.

Also, I asked about the 20% coupon. She said that if it is not HP then I should get the rebate. She took down my name and address to document our conversation. FYI.

Thanks for the information. But remember rule No. 1 for any rebate: DO NOT CALL!!!

I am interested in 1522 deal slated for this Sunday however is 600 dpi enough to print graphics etc? 1200 dpi of 2727 seems better. Thanks!

kaola said:You can buy the m1522nf in store today:
$400 - 20% OD coupon (-$80) - $200 HP rebate - $100 OD rebate = $20.
Make a copy of the receipt (dated 07/05) for the $100 rebate.
Then go to store on Sunday to price matach, and get $140 back.

Finally price: $20 - $140 = making $120.

There might be a glitch though. Sometime OD rebate center may notice you already price matched and declined $100 rebate. So YMMV.

OD will have this HP m1522nf printer on sale for $260 w/o the $100 rebate, but it is still cheaper if you were to buy it on Sunday instead of buying now. Also, you will only be dealing with one rebate, the $200 HP one.

Here is the break down:

$260 - 20% OD coupon (-$52)- $200 (HP Rebate)= $8 + Tax.

There might be a glitch though.

The 20% OD Coupon states it is for printer $299 and up.

I don't know if they meant original price or the price that you pay. If they mean original price, then buying it on Sunday would be cheaper, but if they based it on the sale price, then buying now is a better deal.

Does anyone know how OD works regardging this $299 threshhold?The $100 OD rebate will definitely be invalid.

Rumor has it the HP LJ M1522NF printer will have a $140 INSTANT rebate starting tomorrow at Office Depot (or is it $120?). Can anyone confirm? I picked up the last one from the Miramar location in San Diego...

Thanks for the post OP!

Edit: Looks like I didn't read the thread closely enough--others have mentioned the $140 instant also.

I will report them to the credit card companies on Monday. Has anyone else had a similiar problem with OD lately? I have shopped at OD for many years, but have never had this problem before. Is this a recent change? Anyone have any more insight on this?What's the big deal with showing them ID? If it's your card, then so what. Are you using someone else's card?

The big deal is that I prefer to follow the credit card rules. The rules are to check the signature on the back of the credit card. Anyone can make (or have made) an ID with their picture and anyone's information on it. Can I use your credit card? I can make your ID(drivers license).

What a day dream. the "price match" you mentioned is always treated as return and rebuy in the OD system, as well as your final receipt. when OD rebate center process your rebate, they will find out your actual purchasing date is not in the valid period and no phone call can fix this.

Are you using someone else's card?Yeah, seriously, checking your ID is for YOUR protection, moron. I'm all about standing on principals, but that's just stupid.

If you can make an driver's license for anyone, and it looks real (or is real), PM me. This I gotta see.

"Checking your ID is for YOUR protection." -- That is always the merchant's excuse, but it is a lie. OD is really worried about MY procection!! They have NO interest in their protection? Do you really believe this? Also, I do not want and will not accept their offer of "protection." What is OD protecting me from? Actually, it opens the customer up to identity theft more than we already are. Going around showing your ID(drivers license) to every low paid clerk is REALLY asking for trouble. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime, or have you not heard. Dishonest clerks supplement their income by selling credit card numbers and drivers license information or using it themselves. As for the "moron" part, send me your credit card number and ID, just like at OD and we shall see who the "moron" really is. And you also think it is "stupid" to protect your identity by NOT showing your ID to every clerk in town. Well, I will be kinder and just say that you are uninformed.

You really want to see a driver's license from "unofficial" channels? I could print you one, except OD "protected" me by NOT selling me a printer. No printer, how could "I" possibly print one. But seriously, locally we have news stories all the time where the cops have busted people printing driver's licenses and just about any other document needed. They also bust people making their own driver's license and doing their own "shopping." Locally, these type stories are not uncommon. It is very scary. Just follow the rules and check the signature.
