Are they all compatible with all computers, with the exception of Mac's and PC's.
I have a PC and its HP and was wondering if I would have a hard time finding a combo at Best Buy.

I have a Compaq V2000. The only way I could get it to power on was to put a freshly charged battery in it. The charger that goes with thecomputer does not power it. I think it is something wrong with the computer since I have like 6 different chargers that I have tried it with. And since it does not power the computer, it can't recharge the battery. I don't know what the problem is. Does anybody know what the problem could be and even a possible solution to getting it fixed ? Someone please help if you can. It would be greatly appreciated.

It's an Epson Stylus CX6600, and the cyan cartridge is empty. The printer prompts to replace the cartridge, but I don't have one. How can I set it so that it works regardless of the empty cartridge? I'm using an iMac OS 10.4, and trying to print with M$ Word (ugh!).

my computer froze, I had to shut it down manually. Well now it keeps trying to read the external hard drive. After days of messing with it..I finally got it to read the main hard drive again, but when I shut it down it is messed up again. I safely removed the hardware, but it is still trying to read it...so it keeps looking for it as a slave drive and I can hardley get windows XP to load maybe it will after I restart 100 times, can anyone who's good with computers tell me how I can fix my computer so it will stop doing this and load normally. Also, my husband's comp is doing worse..same prob with his, I got it to read but now it tries to load windows XP and keeps going to that blue screen that says windows detected an error..I can't get past it. I don't have a floppy disk to make a boot cd and was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to make a boot cd?

Can anybody recommend from first hand experience a good machine that achieves above average results with below average running costs? It will probably not be used for producing photographic prints.

My last machine was a Canon MP360, and not being chipped, was able to produce perfectly acceptable results using very inexpensive unbranded ink.
