Lol! I don't know what is worse inkjet printers or Scammers?
I hate Inkjet printers they suck big time. I have found many laser printers over the years almost 85% of the time it is just an empty toner cartridge. A dirty roller is the second most common issue only about 5% of the ones I found needed anything but a toner cartridge or a cleaning. Only one I found so far had a bad imaging drum which exceeded the cost of that printer new.

Scammers suck.

Going off topic again, I remember getting a sheet of paper stuck in the laser printer in my office. After an hour I couldn't get all the bits out so I admitted defeat and called the IT department.

Three days later, this guy Bill (names changed to protect the guilty) who I knew quite well and his mate turn up. They spend another hour trying everything I had, again without success. So Bill turns to his mate and said "Go and get the tool box from the car, Chris..!"

Well you know what happened next, don't you.. They start removing screws and cover plates, and eventually, we got the inevitable "ping" as screws, washers, springs and other assorted bits of printer fly to all points of the compass  :poof:

Bill looks at me, all embarrassed, and just went "Um..."

I just said "You are going to get me a new printer, aren't you..?!"  "Um..."

And it is going to come out of your budget and not mine, isn't it..?!"  "Um..."

The next day he turned up with a brand new printer, the next model up from the old one  :lol:

Incidentally, I do not recommend this as a way to get a new printer   :poof: :lol:
