Had the new printer fail on me - again! new HP laserjet, even bought the 2 year warranty. Go back to Office Depot with the printer and warranty slip - I get a card with a bunch of phone numbers on it and told to call this company for instructions. I tell the guy the printer is only 2 months old - maybe 50 sheets of paper through it. No matter - they just sell. After 7 days it's turned over to the warranty company.
I called a computer repair shop I've dealt with alot in the past. He had a pile of used printers and said he cobbled together enough parts to get a few that worked. Installed a new cartridge for me - $200 out the door. Had my computer service guy hook it up and get it running (gosh I hate computer stuff).
Took the 2 month old printer apart before tossing it, figured there's always useabe shafts, springs, etc in old machines. Cannibalize things before you toss em. NOT THIS THING! Shafts were plastic, plastic gears, snap together plastic construction, metal plates holding the laser stuff is like beer can thick, really got nothing out of it.
What is this world coming to? And now the landline phone doesn't work. No dial tone. Phone company is due out today to look at it - estimated arrival time between 8AM and 4PM!!!! I'm ready for this wek to be over.
