On that note, I thought about going to some lawyers offices and Doctors and asking them to let me know when they upgrade their printers. Some of those does it on a schedule because it is a tax write off. What they could do, donate it to some charity and me pay the charity a little and I have a good printer plus they get a extra write off. The only downside to that, it is used plus they are most likely going to be much bigger and have more features than I need. While I don't care if it has a scanner, can fax etc, I don't need one plus I don't have a phone line to use to fax either, unless it does it over internet which I can do with email anyway. lol One thing about some of the larger more expensive ones, they tend to be built to last a long time and can handle large loads. Thing is, I might not use it enough to keep all the wheels spinning. It may rust to pieces from not being used enough. ROFL One thing I've found out about the Lexmark, cartridges that are refurbed or something ain't easy to find, yet. Heck, finding them at all isn't easy unless you go to a big chain type store. May look into another brand for this that has pretty much the same page counts. I dunno. They do last a long time tho. Dale :-) :-)
