Open for Business

I got a free color laser printer from a guy at a networking meeting. Thats pretty cool, especially when he tells me that he knows that it works. It just needs toner cartridges, he says.

I check the Blag-O-Blag. Replacement cartridges for all four color run around $300. Not so cool. I decide that I need to test the printer to determine if all need replacing, or just a few. I turn on the printer and find that it is giving an error. Replace/Install Waste Toner Cartridge. Waste toner cartridge? What's that? A little more browsing and I discover that the printer has a plastic bin that collects old toner and Samsung thinks that you need to cap that one up, trash it and buy a new one. I promptly empty it in the trash, wash it out, reinstall and voila! Printer works! All toner cartridges are working, color is B-E-A-Utiful and it was absolutely free. Larry suggested that we could start our own printing company now. Anyone have any pie charts that they need printed to wow the clients? Mmm, pie. Delicious.

OK, OK, only 75% delicious. Anyway, I am super psyched. When we were buying our printer about 9 months ago, we wavered on whether we should get a color laser or just a B&W. We decided that we didn't really need the color and it wasn't worth the wasted money. So B&W it was. I feel like God sent a printer-toting angel to reward us for a good decision. What? Too much? No need to bring God into this? Did I mention I was excited?

First picture printed on the printer- Erin and her 2/3 ft. with spheres. Heavenly!
