What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink?

Posted by timothy on from the buy-more-printers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A family member recently asked me to pick up more ink for her Epson Photo RX 595. Unfortunately, replacing the black and color ink cartridges costs $81.92 + tax at the local store! That's so bad that I got a replacement printer that's just as good, and spare ink, for less. But now I have a useless piece of e-waste that I can't even give away. What can you do with a printer like that? I hate to just throw it away."

    you imbecile

    Was that necessary? Did that help make your point any clearer? I don't think it did. In fact, I think that you are simply an internet fuckwad. "I'm not a tough guy, but I play one on the internet!" - that about sums you up doesn't it?

    Of course maybe I don't fully understand the "online disinhibition effect" and you'd like to instruct me as to the real reason you're a giant fucking cocksucker? After all, I'd hate to use a phrase I don't understand.

    I await your quick reply.

    Your command of written English is abysmal.
