For the last week I have been working on my federal and state income taxes(hack spit fart cough).
I got the federal done and printed out and mailed off to the bastards.
But my state taxes I had to put on hold because of printer ink.
No joy anywhere locally to find one either.
So my daughter goes to target? I think it was online, and found some that are not HP ink. She orders those for me, they got here today. They are not the same physical shape, but they fit, and i was finally able to print out my tax forms for the bastards at the state.
Pisses me off the aholes at HP don't make those cartridges anymore. The printer is a great printer and has lots of life left in it, more than I do I think.
But for now the brand I purchased will work. Until they quit making those.
Oh well. Such is the way of life in the time of biden and the hoe.
Give away the razors, sell the blades
ReplyDeleteStrange advice, but I'll give it a try.
DeleteI've had great success with 4inkjets.com.
ReplyDeleteGood to know, I will look them up.
DeleteThere's always the ink refill kits. We use to use those and had pretty good results with them.
ReplyDeleteNever tried those. We really don't do enough printing anymore for that. As long as i can find the ones i managed to get, i will stick with that.
DeleteBack in '01, Xerox made a color printer called a "Phaser" It used huge crayon like chunks of wax as the print medium. It made beautiful color prints as well. Xerox used to give them away to school districts for free as long as the district signed a contract to buy the crayons from Xerox exclusively. The crayons ran about $175 for a 4 pack, and if one moved the printer after it had warmed up, the melted wax would inevitably spill inside the printer. The downside, besides the expensive ink crayons, was that one could not fold the color prints; because the wax would peel off on the fold.
ReplyDeleteThe printer manufacturers don't make much off of the printer; it's the supplies that makes them money.
Those color cartridges have a tiny chip that identifies what color it is to the printer, so no, one cannot switch cartridges.
Problem with this one is the wrong color just won't go into the slot. I was on the way to get a hammer to make it go, but the wife tackled me.
DeleteI had an old (2007) HP Office Jet 5610 and finally just had to throw it in the trash. No Joy, ink cartilages were getting scarce as kamala's white virginal underwear...
ReplyDeleteIf they are that scarce better to get a new printer.
DeleteI miss the old Dot-Matrix Printers.... talk about ageing me.
Deletei remember those. Thats the one where the paper had holes on the side?
