Is it a true that all new printers come with half filled cartridges?

Epsons have always come with fully filled cartridges as far as I am aware.
However, by the time the print head chamber is filled with ink from charging
the first time the printer is used the consumer is not getting a full
cartridge's worth of ink as part of the ink remains in the print head
reservoir.

No.

Canon comes with regular carts. I think that may be the case with Epson
as well but not sure. HP goes the half filled route.

My Samsung laser cartridge part# is specified for (approx. 1/3) lesser
yield, although apart from toner volume I couldn't say how many units,
if at all, beyond that would be assembled with parts (the blade and
optics) capable of not providing a much longer duty cycle. They do
have a fuse intended to blow at a specified "count" -- I haven't
figured how that works (apart the workaround, which is simply to
replace). A laser site in U.K. even provides instructions/materials
for burning a hole (apparently -some- cartridges are self-contained
and show no intent of being refilled).

As I know all manufacturers (HP, Epson, Canon, Samsung, Brother, etc) sell
printers with half filled cartridges. Not all models of course. Depends on
the model, (some only in lasers, some only in inkjets).
