I've got other options! I could turn in into a book end or put casters
underneath and turn it into a pretty trendy skate board ; - )

This kind of intermittent problem is the kind I really don't like. God
knows why, every time you send the appliance to get it fixed, it works
perfectly... or so tou're told.

In mine too, but I find once is enough.

Hefty indeed! I was told by someone who answered through E-mail tnat
many independant shops are gearing up to fix different makes of
printers. Good news!

I don't think my next printer will be an inkjet. The price of laser

I hope it won't be too soon! For now, I'm printing unimportant stuff
with my brother's old 9 pin printer.
