My only experience with the "super cartridges" is with the
25-in-1 cartridge from Pacific Data Products.  I found it
to be an outstanding value in terms of price and
performance (quality of printing).  I used it with WordPerfect
5.0 - WP does not have a driver for the 25-in-1 but a
driver comes with the cartridge for several popular software
packages.  No complaints whatsoever.  I compared the TimesRoman
12 point font with an HP cartridge with the same font and I
actually prefered the PDP cartridge's output, although the
difference was barely detectable.
