My mom scrapbooks and has a color printer for the pictures. I've shown her how cheap it is to print them elsewhere, but she won't listen. It bothers me that they keep buying those ridiculously over-priced cartridges.
My work printer is definitely from Hell. It randomly decides to think there is a paper jam (when there is not) and that the cartridge cradle cannot move (when it can). Not to mention it sucks down ink like no other printer I've seen.
I miss 1995 Hewlett Packard. I bought one then, and it lasted 10 fricken years. I even gave it to my mother after. The ink was expensive, but not ridiculous.
