For the present, my options are limited (and I haven't explained EVERYTHING, as I doubt everybody wants to read my life story here). I will try to make do with my Brother inkjet printer (which at least *looks* shiny and brand-new), and figure out how to make do with refills. Over the years I have got pretty inventive about making stuff work that really should not work at all, and this is another one of those moments. Thanks for the comments & offers of help. Even if I cannot take the advice, I still got some useful information about what might be my next move for getting a better printer.
