Post #7,498 by broomberg 9/2/01 1:23:38 PM Reply	Another printer story I get a new crappy printer every 9 months or so. Every color inkjet printer I've ever had seems to self destruct about the same time the intro ink runs out. The rollers or lifters fails, it gets smeary, etc. And It always happens RIGHT AFTER I buy the replacement ink cartrides for $50 (color and black). So this time, I'v just bought a Canon S400, rear feed, $80. In 8 months the ink will run out. And I'll buy a new printer instead of replacing the ink.

The Deskjet never skipped a beat in all the years I had it. AFAIK, it's still going strong. My '6000 is also fine. I'm partway through the third black tank now and just into the second lot of colour tanks. I was just wondering when to replace the heads, actually. It's only ick is that it has trouble picking up the paper in high-humidity, but so do many printers. Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

And if someone can find a cure for it a lot of the other problems will diminish.
