Inked

Over the last few months both of my Hewlett-Packard printers have failed. I’ll admit they were loss leader inexpensive and thus quite likely to break after I had already purchased additional absurdly expensive cartridges. I don’t mind running down to the business center to print things out (for free); in fact, since the average cost of my inkjet printer probably exceeded $1/page over the last year of ownership, perhaps I shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. (On the other hand, my old B&W laser printer certainly paid for itself by allowing me to avoid the exorbitant fees at the university library.)
