Thanks, I bookmarked it to check out when I get POed and smash my current printer!
I always pass on extended warranties for most such gizmos.
The only thing that I buy extended warranties for are expensive cameras and cheap printers. This is because they are very complicated electro-mechanical devices that have a lot of small things that can go wrong with them that can't be fixed at home.
One time I knocked over an expensive DSLR that fortunately was still under the 4 year drop and spill extended warranty that I purchased. The thing was still a great camera, but it would have been history.
As for printers... we are downsizing to move so I have a whole pile of old printers that I have to take to the recyclers, many of which I got very little service from before something went wrong. I would have got money back on enough of these that I would have been money ahead. The $5 extended warranty I got on this one will just return my money if something goes wrong in the next 2 years. Judging from past experience, I would guess that there is close to a 25% chance that this printer will quit working before my 2 years is up.
