Re: [GSAS-board] Printer

Here's my 2 cents on the matter.

We *never* use very much ink on auction day.  The crappy little inkjet 
printer that I keep stashed away in the closet gets pulled out for the 
auctions, and the ink has often dried up over the last year.  I had the 
same problem when I used a dot matrix printer.  So for a few days before 
the auction, I try to re-hydrate it.

Toner, as I understand it, being dry, lasts indefinitely.

I checked prices on this particular toner cartridge -- looks like TN360. 
Looks like retail the cartridges are $40-60, but some places sell $25-30, 
and I see refill kits for $21.
