Walgreens charges $10 to refill inkjet cartridges, something HP hates, because most of HP's corporate profits come from convincing the public that it needs to buy overpriced, overpackaged, original cartridges.
The American drugstore chain "is pushing the [refill] program as a low-cost, more eco-friendly alternative to purchasing new cartridges," reports Chloe Albanesius of PC Magazine.
Walgreens photofinishing general merchandising manager John Sugrue says, "And people feel good about keeping printer cartridges out of landfills." Smack you, HP.
