_Worst_ suggestion _ever_.

Next time you can't figure out your printer, please donate it to
someone - or hell, mail it to me (unless it's a Lexmark, in which case
it it probably *does* belong in the landfill).  There are likely
computer recyclers in your area as well - take some responsibility!

I love it:  wallyworld + lexmark = "disposable" printers....
