My printer's about to get schooled on my mad skills of punching it.
I NEED to print out a couple of pictures for my "yard display"; I mean I NEEEED to! I'm completely excited about setting it up, and now my stupid printer claims there is a "paper jam" or something. I have gone so far as to unplug said printer, turn it upside down, and shake it. I have assured it that there is no paper jam, but it insists otherwise. I'm getting really mad. Sometimes I hate technology. Hate, hate, hate it.

:banghead:

2. No, it's a cheap Lexmark piece of crap.
The power light is blinking at me in a most antagonistic fashion.

3. Lexmarks are good for two years max
then they crap out with paper jam or out of ink error messages. Don't buy a Dell-it's just a Lexmark with a Dell label on it and proprietary cartridges which cost even more than Lexmarks.

12. Lexmarks are the most unreliable peices of shite ever.
Though HP isn't much better, having long squandered their past reputation for quality.

5. Most printers are disposable, much like Bic razors.
They loose money on the printer, but make money on the cartridges.

Chuck it.

10. A few months back, I was sorely tempted to throw mine out the
window for much the same reason.
