My Paintjet is broken. Hewlett-Packard wants $180(!) to fix it. I probably can get a new printer for that.

Herman, Sure you can get a printer for $180. But the new printer won't be a paintjet. Tell you what…I'll trade you my working Epson JX-80 for your non working Paintjet…ok? I mean the Epson cost $500 and I've added the NLQ upgrade to it from Dresselhaus at another $80. And it's a color printer also. Of course, the color isn't nearly as good as the Paintjet, nor is the printer as fast…but it works. Seriously (well….to be real serious…I would make the trade if you were foolish enough to do it), $180 to fix a $1,200 printer isn't bad at all. Don
