Stupid Printer

andysocialHewlett Packard is having a sale on their entry-level color laser printer, the 2600N. This printer has won awards and accolades when it was selling for 400 bucks. Now, it's on sale for $319, with free shipping. Since my inkjet is old and ink is only available via mailorder and it is spitting and sputtering, I ordered a nice shiny laser printer. It showed up today.
I spent over an hour waiting at the FedEx center, after being told the package would be there at the time I arrived. OK, nothing to be done about it. Get it home, unpack the fifty pound beast, pull all the tabs, place it just so...install software...plug it in...flip the switch. And the switch. . . fell off in my hand. That can't be right.
I tried to reassemble the switch, to no avail. So, I've got a fifty pound paperweight on my desk. Joy. I'm betting I won't print anything until New Years. Ho ho ho.
