  Well already has Staples replacement carts in it, and Staples will 
take back their own replacement carts.  Can't find the list ATM but 
pretty sure my R200 was on it at the time since it was what I had..  
While there is for sure a list, a lot of their ads are pretty free about 
saying 'any cartridge', and many stores seem to take in anything you 
hand them without even looking at it too, a lot less PITA at Staples 
than the other places, $3 is $3, try every cartridge you can get..  $45 
Epson store credit is the main deal, other stuff almost doesn't matter 
since this and my R200 credit will pay for all or nearly all of one of 
the cheap durabright printers or a new set of ink for the R200 etc.  
Just wish I hadn't tossed the trashed printer I got from freecycle a few 
weeks before the rebate came online.  But it had ink all over the place 
inside, didn't even bother with the carts since it was such a mess.
