Like "every 6 months or so". I <br>
had an old Samsung CLP-315 that worked very well, but it's dead, and <br>
nothing I have tried (Doze10, OS X, removing and reseating all <br>
user-servicable parts) has been able to get it to work again.<br>
<br>
So: What do you all do for occasional printing? Inkjets dry up when <br>
not used often, so I disregarded inkjets. I looked at B&W laser <br>
printers on Amazon and Tiger Direct. The Brother HL-L2300D is listed on <br>
<a href="http://openprinting.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">openprinting.org</a> as "working perfectly"[0], but for the last week, it's <br>
been "temporarily out of stock". Other models of Brother, Lexmark, and <br>
Canon printers that are listed on Amazon and Tiger Direct are A) <br>
"temporarily out of stock" if they are listed on <a href="http://openprinting.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">openprinting.org</a> B) not <br>
listed at all on <a href="http://openprinting.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">openprinting.org</a> and therefore probably paperweights.<br>
<br>
Ordinarily in this situation, I'd print the 15-20 pages I need to print <br>
at the office. The office is not really an option; I have no idea when <br>
it'll be open again. Thoughts? Suggestions? Howls of pain?<br>
<br>
[0] Binary-only i386 printer filter required, but this is not a huge <br>
problem for me.<br>
