Re: OT - Camera question

Theresa.... you can remodel and do so many tasks... fix it!

Take it apart and
gorrilla glue the darn thing back together..... if I am thinking of the right
part on the printer- all it really needs is something to hold it in place
tightly.... rubber bands, paper clips, those tiny craft clamps.... you CAN do
this!

Subject: Re: [CHAT] OT - Camera question


Just FYI-  I just
had an 18 month old HP printer turn into a very large 
expensive paperweight.
Part of the plastic latch that holds the ink 
cartridge cracked, and while it
is clearly a replaceable part (it 
actually has visible screws)- HP does not
make this part anymore and it 
is not available anywhere.  Naturally, I didn't
buy an extended 
warrantee- the expense didn't seem justified at the time.
So, I'm just  
out of luck and will need to get a new printer eventually (for
my 
husband, who fortunately doesn't print much).  P.S.  HP's customer
service phone system is a nightmare to negotiate. On the other hand- I 
LOVE
the Dell printer I inherited from my father.  I'll be looking to 
see if Dell
has come out with a wireless network capable printer when I 
finally do get
around to replacing my husband's printer.
