>Fornutally I don't need a printer and have not for a good number of years. Ink has always been a rip-off. At one time when I needed a printer I was buying a cheap printer that came with 3 ink cartridges --- and to buy 3 refill ink cartrages turned out to cost slightly more than just buying a brand new printer and getting the 3 ink cargrages that it came with lol. By the end of a year or so I had like 30 or 40 of those damn printers laying around lol lol. Meanwhile if you do a little math it's as if they're charging over $5,000 for 1 gallon of ink lol.

You may not need to print, but do you need to scan? - there's the rub.

Are you still in Hawaii? If so, hope you're OK. I believe Rick Strahl used to be in Lahaina, which got pummeled... don't know where he is now.
