I'll bet many readers of this N.G. own one; my 4MP is the best
printer on my network at the moment. It's always wise to acquire
contingency spares in advance; check thrift stores, back alleys in
business districts, dumpsters, electronics recyclers, etc. It should
be possible to maintain the machine for a long time to come.

Agreed. I've already found at least one seemingly trustworth eBay seller.

Your point about contingency backups is well-taken. Last year I bought a
second JVC XP-A1000 hall synthesizer to cover me if my other one ever fails.
