  They are WHAT???
  So, why do I always have to pay a fortune (about $60) to get one?
Or is this problem specific for Germany?

  They used to be cheap (~$15), but that's long ago...

  I've never had a problem with my A2000, execpt the 4 times I had to
replace one of the 8520's. (Yes, I know I've to switch the computer off
when plugging the printer in or out... :-)
