new printer with a full warranty about $30.00.

But you have to spend $80.00 out front + tax.

WOW, a real biggie

Obviously that you didn't read the whole thing. I don't even know
whether the person is going to utilize it and would rather continue
relying on me to print for him, driving direction, etc. I have a
laser printer and officejet, both HP.

I might buy HP Officejet 5610 if I can get the price down for $60.

Therefore a used printer is worthless.


You are in error "measekite" .
1. You cannot buy the above Canon printer for $30 new with full warranty

Try Frys -- They have a salve on it every couple of weeks

I don't think I'd buy a printer from a place that puts salve on it every
two weeks, no matter how cheap it is. Sounds awfully messy to me - lots
messier than refilling cartridges! At least we now know how you keep
that Canon of yours from clogging. Be sure you use only Canon OEM
printer salve, though. Anything else could void your warranty...
