I've two ancient printers that are still in reasonably good working condition, a HP LaserJet 4L and a HP LaserJet 4M. I'd like to keep using them, but the quote for one of the toner cartridges was more than a new printer. Of course, I'll be better off getting the toner cartridge (and so is the environment), but then I'm assessing this on-the-whole. Most people will just look at the initial cost. I've used several other inkjet printers that have convinced me that I don't want to use a inkjet ever again. They waste so much ink, it smudges so easy, they clog, the cartridges are way overpriced... -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
