      Why is Tom stealing a printer?

      This, however, is not Canon. It’s an HP.

        It’s from the time HP printers needed only a semiannual cleaning, would last a decade, and the cartridges were cheap.

          Yep. That’s what “killed” it for me. The cartridges that were like $25 when I first acquired it were like $65 by the time I got rid of it. Part of that could be due to it being an older model, but definitely shouldn’t be a $40 difference in 6 years.

        I think I got that printer for a family member for Christmas. And yes, before you ask, the 3d maze was the screensaver

          I had it, too (or at least one in the same DeskJet 6xx family). Got it from a dumpster dive in high school, threw in some new ink cartridges, and was good to go. That thing lasted me all the way through college.

          HP has fallen so far from grace it’s crazy.
