Printer Goes Bad

[was]

-My last printer was an Epson 800 that lasted 6 years with no problems before dying. My new Epson is just working fine and only cost $65 (on sale with a rebate). I'm pretty satisfied with their products.
-Did you use generic ink cartridges? You have to be careful in choosing them. Some are very good, while others can really trash your printer.

At work we have a Konica Minolta Bizhub colour laser printer/copier/scanner, and it's brilliant.

Unfortunately, I can't really get one for home: I think they are about £35000 to buy (We lease ours).

Ouch! That sucker had better collate, print on both sides at the same time, and do it all at warp factor 9....

Repair nothing! For low-end models, it's actually cheaper to THROW YOUR PRINTER AWAY and buy a new one (that comes with ink cartridges) than to buy new ink cartridges.

This makes me sad.

For that cost, it ought to drive you to and from work. That's a very expensive autombile price!

It probably also staples, binds, scans to e-mail, comes with an LCD screen that gets Satilite TV, speaks 12 different languages, and can do your taxes.

I must say, that as a computer tech, it is my professional oppinion that I absalutely loath printers, I hate them with a passion. 90% of all of the computer problems I look at have to do with printers.

As for printing off PDFs, my workplace has a very nice xerox printer that prints high quality and double sided. It's nice for printing stuff.

But do you have The Bestiary: Predators? Which is a good book to have even if you can't print it out. (Something I don't usually say about PDFs. )
