That's what I was going to say, any of the printers I've bought that come with cartridges look like they have normal ones but they don't have as much capacity as the proper ones so it's not economical to buy new printers for the ink.
When choosing a printer last year I was surprised at the number of negative reviews where people had trouble with printers not lasting very long, the HP I went for in the end has had heavy use and so far it's worked without issue most of the time.
