Subject: [Hangout - NYLXS] Printer Purchases..
User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15)
I've had an excellent HP m551DN network and Duplex postfix color
laserjet printer. It really died and needed servicing but servicing
seemed to cost more money than replacement, assuming I could even get a
call to the office.
So I replaced it with a refurbished model from B&H Photo - the
replacment being an m554DN. It sat for a couple of months, still boxed,
in my office floor because it is just too heavy for me to recycle the
old printer and set up the new one. I am really feeling old at this
point.
Unfortunately. the new refurnished one is not working. It has an error
with the fuser 50.4F00 which implies some electrical problem. The paper
tray is not lifting either. It cost me over $400 and at this point it
seems worthless.
I need a replacement printer, and you would think after almost 10 years
that the technology might advance, but it doesn't seem to have. I need
a color laser printer (just to print) and network ready (not wifi - and
not depenent on cellphoes - I don't even OWN a cellphone). And I am
struggling with a reasonable alternative. And these new HPs a locked
into the cartilages. So I am very frustrated with the situation. They
are twisting my arm so badly to force shit on my that I don't want that
my arm is coming off at the shoulder.
I am fielding suggestions.
