"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

how much printing do you think you'll do? I'm wondering if you can't do all your printing at a printing place near a college and get a good rate. might be cheaper than buying a printer and ink.

if that is impractical, now is a good time to buy a printer (back to school sales are pretty good).

amazon and staples have had good deals - comparison shop though to see who might be cheapest.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

What model is it? They should have updated drivers on the website.

Along those lines, would it be cheaper to buy a printer from your looniversity computer store? Technically, you're still entitled to the educator discount.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

in my case, the education discount applies at the vendor level and not only at the store. So Dell and Apple are where I can get discounts.

Nope, they stopped making the model, so they never bothered to do a driver for vista. If you'd upgraded to vista, it would have worked, but there's no new driver.

I'm going to try to driver for Windows 2k, sometimes that works.

And now I'm sorry I didn't get 0609, it's my dad's birthday backwards (they didn't have 0906, I checked)

Vortex,

you might want to look at gazelle.com and see if they will give you $$ for the printer (or any other gadgets you may have). That might help toward the purchase of a new printer.

I clicked "next" until there was no more "next" to click. Call me a completist.

No, I saw it, i just didn't process it. I looked at them all. And of course I was feeling all of this pressure since they had run out last time.
