Is your printer out of ink? Today’s the day you can get it refilled for free at Walgreens, using a coupon that you can print out at the company’s website.

The promotion is to acquaint consumers with the drug-store chain’s ink-refilling service. You can get one ink cartridge, color or black, refilled for free today only at any participating Walgreens store, which includes dozens in the Twin Cities. The main catch is that the service is available only for Dell, Lexmark, HP, Okidata, Primera, Sharp and Xerox printers — not Epson or Canon, which leaves me out. The refilling service normally costs $10 for black cartridges and $15 for color.

“It’s a great opportunity to be both cost- and environmentally-conscious,” Walgreen said in a press release.

Don’t forget to print out the coupon! Find the coupon, more information and your nearest location at the Walgreens website.

Also, be sure to check out the site Deal Ink. You’ll probably find generic ink-refill cartridges for your printer for an even lower price, including shipping, than most local refill services. Of course, it’s not as environmentally friendly.
