old printers

1Pg - With laser printers, even brother, are down near $100, it just isn’t worth chasing old stuff, I recycled older power hungry lasers, all the inkjets, went with a brother duplex printing all in one (6500 series) for maybe $120 @ Costco… I see now those are a bit outdated, but it did a firmware update this morning, so still supported…

But here’s another decently priced… I buy 3rd party carts, lasts a long, long time…

Not only do inkjets dry up, because of light use, the heads get jammed, the fix is generally to use their expensive ink to clean them! A Epson inkjet had cotton block to absorb all the ink used in cleaning, 5x12x2, and it was soaked! I took it all apart to recycle what could be recycled, never again any inkjet… If I need color, FedEx is rough down the road…
