Wow, if your '96 deskjet is still functioning, I'm really impressed! If I could have gotten my all-in-one desktop printer to last more than the 2 and a half years that it did, I would have been quite happy. I've decided I simply don't have good luck with printers. I inherited an old HP laserjet which failed (not suprising), and now I have a very nice inexpensive Samsung laserjet, but it's printing terribly, though that may just be that it needs a new toner cartridge.

I envy those of you who have great working printers.
