[Hidden-tech] Printer Issue (avoid Kodak if buying new)

[Amy Vickers]

Does anyone have a color office printer/copier they recommend?

Avoid the Kodak Easyshare all-in-one printers, they are duds in my 
experience.

I've had this printer for 2 years and am now on the fourth failed 
printhead, the plastic holder for the ink cartridges. When this happens 
Kodak dutifully sends out a free new printhead--5-7 days later. Maybe 
there's a reason why Kodak so easily sends out free printhead 
replacements: the diagnostics to get to identifying the failed printhead 
problem requires you to spend at least $25 to put in new color and black 
cartridges first--which the new printhead will not accept.
