Ok. Stupid question.

I need toner for my laser printer. About a year ago, I bought a refurbished cartridge, and I swear it did not last nearly as long as other cartridges I bought...like less than half as long. I don't think I had replaced that cartridge for three or four years before that.

So, should I plunk down the big bucks for the HP cartridge, or should I try a different refurbished cartridge?

Or, should I just buy a new printer?

VW - the cartridge that did not last as long. How sure are you that were not printing more pages per week?

That said - there are different ways of refurbishing cartridges. Some refurbished cartridges reuse parts that are not really intended to be reused. Others are essentially a third party brand using the HP case. I've had luck with Rapid-Refill brand refurbished, and with Office Max's HP compatible brands. You dont' save a lot, but you save something and they do last as long as the HP. If someone knows of third party brand or reburished place that combines good with cheap I'd be interested in hearing about it as well.

Anyone around who can answer an xsl question for me?

Maybe.

OK, can I just email you a test html document (that has xml, xsl and javascript) with a description of what I want to do?

Sure, I'll take a look at it.

OK, insent to profile addy. (I sent from my work email account, not my profile addy.)

I'm having a deep sense of deja vu here.

Your organization will jump through some really elaborate hoops to avoid using t xsl:parameter won't it?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I was getting the deja vu too.

Anyway, I'm trying to hack what our ex-consultant wrote for us. Problem is, my xsl knowledge is limited....

It looks like your ex-consultant was deliberately trying to write unmaintainable code. I'll have too take a deeper look at it this evening.
