HP 6978 printer ink

[johncf]

Today I talked to Elmo at HP support ([personal info removed]) about not being able to buy HP ink 902 color for my HP 6978 printer. The first thing Elmo said was my printer was old and I need to buy a new printer. I told him I bought it two years ago and he said that makes it old. I was on the phone with Elmo 37 minutes and every time I asked about getting ink he would say I needed to buy a new printer. At first Elmo said the ink was on back order, then he changed it to "ink was discontinued" and I needed to buy a new printer.

So I am asking if this is the HP policy - to discontinue making ink for printers after the printers have been on the market for two years????

Can anyone help me obtain the 902 color ink cartridges??

Or should I buy another printer?  Maybe a brand other than HP??

thanks for whatever help you can give me.
