But it's still possible to get replacement parts for older office printers. I said _office_ printers, even used ones that you can pick up for few dollars or a bottle of beer. Spare parts aren't expensive, and in many cases, you can install them yourself. The "funny" thing: Even for 10 years old printers (and even older ones), they are available. Try _that_ with a home consumer inkpee printer! :-) > Also keep the dust low on _any_ printer and it will last longer and > perform better.

There are a few "tricks" to make them soft again, but the typical solution is to replace them for few dollars. Note that this isn't something you'll notice in 2 - 5 years of use. You often need 10 or more years to find fail and trouble in a good printer. Good printer == office printer, as I said befire. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
