canon mb2720 ink always running out when I dont print a lot.

[quartermilecame]

I have had this printer for just under a year.  I dont use it often but when I do it seems it always is running out of ink.  My old mp500 canon inkjet was much better!  All I do is print out schematics of old radios ocassionally yet the ink monitor is always telling me a cartridge is out. And of course it is, this time the cyan is out.  Do these printers just waste ink by priming it?  Do they have to be used often?  Beginning to think this printer was a big mistake purchasing.

80 bucks for new ink just plain bites.

Based on the type of printing you do, I would consider a Laser printer over an inkjet.  BW or color, you'll ultimately get more bang for your buck.
