About 3 years ago, I bought a Canon i470D printer to print photos as it was cheap and I could get cheap ink. It did a good job over its life, but yesterday it decided (yes, I know this is the passive voice, but I didn’t decide anything for it) that it wasn’t going to print black despite my hour of futzing with it, cleaning the print head, changing ink, etc. I said forget it and dumped the printer in the trash (OK, I took out all the circuitry first so that I could comply with the mandatory law requiring us to recycle stuff containing mercury). I checked the Fry’s ad (yes, I don’t like shopping there, but they always have cheap printers). They had an Epson R320 refurbished for $40 after rebate. As I figure these printers are cheap and will break anyway, how bad could a refurbished one be? So far, knock on wood, the printer prints well and the fact that it uses 6 separate ink cartridges is good so that I don’t have to replace all of them.
