Which, I would recommend, only as the inks are affordable if you use
refurbs and such. Basically $2 an ink cart.

But, buyer beware, what will $2 get you? Pretty sure you can omit
"quality".

I have two questions:

1) How do you know when your print-head has gone bad? I took it off,
soaked it in alcohol, put it back and it was a little better, but not
completely. Seriously, is there any difference between a new print head
and mine other than the new one isn't clogged?

and

2) Actually, I only have that one question.

Thanks in advance

Ink jets are a pain in the ass. I don't print much so every time I want
to use it the ink is ****ed up. It costs me another 50 bucks to print a
****ing picture.
I noticed at Walmart last night that I could buy a new HP ink jet
printer for $49.00 and the ink for $19.00. My ink costs $60.00.
It seems the older the printer the more the ink costs. Looks like
planned consumer ****ing to me.

I'm going with a laser printer. I don't think toner (DRIES UP) from
non-use.



No, but the little rollers that move the paper around do. I have an HP4
sitting here that prints great, but makes an accordion about every 5th
page printed.
$38 and about 20 minutes fixes that.
