Time For A New Printer
Posted by Cottontimer on 23 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: Knick Knacks
Time to get a new printer. Been getting this error message more often lately:
This job requires more memory than is available in this printer.
My discontinued Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5MP has survived five countries and is only on its second toner cartridge since 1994/5. Because it doesn’t have a USB port, I have to network it via an old laptop that has a parallel port. On eBay it sells for around $50. A new Brother all-in-one color inkjet printer wouldn’t cost much more than that. So i guess it’s time to let a piece of history go.
Said good-bye to anything lately?

Funny – I still have the same printer from college.
Nowadays, I can only print word docs on it – you can’t beat the quality of a laser printer though.
If we didn’t have to move again, I would keep it. Like you said, what it is able to print is very good. But considering I have no scanner, no fax, no copier, and need a higher capacity color printer, it’s time to upgrade….
