* Epson Stylus Photo 700 printer (currently inoperable)
For some reason the printer thinks that the ink cartridges should
end up about two feet to the left past where the range of acceptable
motion is, and thus it makes grinding noises and whatnot and doesn't
print usefully. Might be interesting for parts/ink cartridges (not
empty, but not sure how full), or if you feel like re-enacting the
printer scene from Office Space.
My supposition is that the buggy Linux driver I tried to use with it
about a year ago confused it somehow -- it worked fine until
then. There might be hardware problem (stripped teeth on a gear or
so), but I haven't taken it apart to check for this. The printer is
actually a fairly nice (for it's era) Color inkjet printer.

I would like to get $5 for this, as that would cover the cost of a
#7 at Wendy's. ;) I live in Matheson on east campus.
