Good job on the printer. I thought you wanted a color printer to replace bf's DJ-712? I wondered what happened to the LJ-4L but was hesitant to ask. I just assumed you didn't like it, I guess. Sometimes I encourage people to hang on to things and sense they have some aversion to older things and are afraid the old things having some expiration date so I don't push to hard about the old equipment they have.
The LJ-4L is a good printer. Many of the ink jets, especially Epson’s, don't work correctly if they sit for 6 months.
After about a year of just sitting and the print drum in the toner cartridge not turning, sometimes the drum gets to print a line on the paper where the drum and PCR (electronic image eraser) touch each other. A new toner cartridge or just a drum replacement at a cartridge rebuilder will make everything like new again. You should get 3,200/3,500 from a LJ-4L toner cartridge.
Quote: but I bought three pairs of shoes and in all spent as much as I would have on a new printer! Oh well, there's a bit of BB in me, too.
I expect people to have things they want and don't absolutely have to have. I think some of what you did is called normal. Call me when this happens a couple times a week or you get deliveries from some of your favorite vendors 3 or more times a week, BTDT. I can give you my opinions then, but maybe you already know what it is.
Try not to get to the point of having a [brand name] collection, like a pair to go to the mail box, a pair to walk in the front yard, a pair to wear to walk in the back yard, a pair to walk on a path in the field, a pair to wear when the temp is below 60, a pair to wear when the temp is between 60 and 80, another pair to wear when the temp is over 80. I am over stating the example, but I hope you get my point.
I have been told to lighten up by more than a couple of people but difficult to change my mental thoughts of what is practical after so many years having to decide if item “A” is more important than being concerned about how to pay for the other things in life.
The donation stores have so much donated to them I am going to have to wait 3 weeks before they can take some of the furniture BB replaced so I put it on a “free ad” on the Internet.
