Unfortunately, refilling isn't really an option for some printers.

For instance, my old Hewlett Packard had combined ink tanks and printing
heads.  By the time the ink had run low, the head was nearly always
hopelessly clogged.  Sometimes, it had clogged long before then.  No
amount of cleaning routines, or manual scrubbing, would fix them.  Also,
to attempt to refill them meant drilling a hole into a sealed box.
Which is hard enough, but if bits of crumbled plastic fell inside in the
wrong place, that caused yet more problems.

If you're going to buy an inkjet, get one with separate heads from the
print tanks.  And if you ever find them being sold at a reasonable
price, buy a spare set before they become unavailable or unaffordable
(as happened with my Sharp printer - first they went up to well over
$100 each, and then nobody stocked them).

Inkjet printers, a very un-green product.
