Just added to my cart as well. Might depend on where you live.

I pretty sure it uses inkjet cartriges. Four seperate catridges.

LC-41BK Black (569014) LC-41C Cyan (569017) LC-41M Magenta (569018) LC-41Y Yellow (569019)

I hope so anyways because I just ordered a bunch from 123inkjet. I picked up 21 cartridges from them for $55 shipped with a 30% off code they emailed me.

I missed it

Haven't done an Easy Rebate in a while. Do you have to send anything in? UPC, receipt, packing slip, etc?

How's the quality on thoses from Abacus? I've used the Spectrum brand from 123inkjet before (not for this printer but others) and they are good quality products.

Interesting...

When I use my regular Staples account it shows out of stock... When I create a new account and use a one time credit card, it is in stock...

And it looks like they raised the price to $35 now.

So, is the instant $15 rebate gone? I do see it listed - is there a code that needs to be added? This is not referenced in the deal description.

my order yesterday went through. but today i got this email.

This thing is awesome...it does everything.

It does come with ink cartridges.

It doesn't come with the Vista compatable software on disk but you can download it here.

vista software

All the functions work great. It unzips the files and you have to go to the 'Setup5440CN' directory, then 'eng' directory, then click setup.

famewolf said:I picked up the MFC-5840cn from Office Depot..should be delivered in 3 days... I'd like to know where the person is finding the ink's for $1 each on eBay because best price I'm finding is $14.95 for a 14 pack that has 5 black and 3 of each of the colors with $10 in shipping so thats basically $2 each...maybe I'm looking wrong.

I had just given a rough estimate that the carts are about a dollar each. I looked around on eBay and other places, and you are right, after factoring in shipping, it comes to about $2, maybe a few cents less (I see a 9 pack for $17 shipped).

Just wanted to add another suggestion here- Brother printers (including these (I think)) has some kind of optical ink sensors which keep checking the level of ink in the ink tank of the cart. All 4 ink carts need to have ink for the printer to print (so, even if u want to just print black, u still need to have non-empty color carts). When the ink goes low, the printer says it is out of ink and refuses to print. Now, trouble is this happens even when there is about 15% or more ink left in the tank. To work out this problem some people apply black electrical tape to the part of the cart which comes in contact with the optical ink sensor. I think there are pictures somewhere on the web which show exactly where to apply the tape, use google to find out.
