(Ed, I'm still wondering why you remove the "Re:" from all of
your subject lines).
I wouldn't say "better than new". If it failed once, it's
likely to fail again. It's not a good idea to get refurbs on
any mechanical device. Memory, CPU's, that's ok since they are
solid-state and electronic. But anything else, especially
electromechanical devices, I'd never trust them. There's a
reason the refurbs have shorter warranties; the manufacturers
don't even fully trust them. When a piece of hardware fails,
what's usually done is the part is replaced without finding the
root REASON said part failed. They might trace it back a
little bit if any. A printer for example: If a gear or belt on
a printer fails, they'll replace that gear or belt, without
looking DEEP at EVERY part to find out precisely WHY that part
failed. Could have been just a fluke, but it could also be
from OTHER gears that have cracked, or have become misaligned
because something is bent, or has the incorrect tension, or a
spring is too tight, etc., etc. Replacing only the gear in
these cases will result in failure again.

I agree on the HP Printers, their availability and price of
their Ink &
refills.
I have been using HP Printers for 10+ years. Also, some folks
might not
realize that a Factory re-conditioned factory unit can be
found at a
greatly
reduced price, These units have been returned for some sort of
failure.
So the
factory restores the failed problem and now it is all fixed and
better
than NEW.
I ONLY use HP Printers which serve me very professionally. I
especially like
their "All-in one-Scan, Print, Photo Copy" which use the 02-HP
Photo
Value Pack
about $35 for 6-Ink Cartridges.
