Cordless drill with a cord

[Elizabeth Greene]

My HP color laser printer started squawking about low toner levels a month or so ago. A little investigation revealed that the black is down to about 30%, while the colors are just fine. Replacing the black cartridge alone is going to be ~$80. A full set of cartridges is over $200 - for a sub-$200 printer!

Back in the 90s HP laser printers were rock solid workhorses. They would print reams of paper without so much as a blip. The brand has declined, i.e. "value engineered", significantly. Today Brother is making the good laser printers. I'm 4 years into mine and my only complaint is I didn't drop the extra $100 to get one with a sheetfed scanner on it.
