Being super cheapskates, we bought several servicable deskjets at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Couple days ago, we saw five on sale. Ink costs more than the printers and we got the refill bottles and inject it.
They sell here for two to five bucks, the printers, usually HP. If one doesn't work, we just toss it and get another.
There is also have some good info on the Schindler site, www.terrisfight.org, their "Will to Live."
Living Wills, advance directives are a scary slippery step, it seems to me. And as Jimmy Chambers found out, even an old one seemingly no longer valid can be used against us, if in the hands of people with wrong intent.
The problem I've had is with the thing that feeds the paper through. I took my previous printer to Best Buy with the same problem, and the clerk said it would cost more to fix it, and just to look for a printer on sale. The cost of ink is ridiculous, and I am thinking of buying it online, or refilling the cartridges myself. I've hardly even used this printer. I'm an uber cheapskate, so I'll keep the thrift stores in mind.
I printed out two copies of the Will to Live, including the papes that suggest how to fill the darn thing out. The problem is that words can be twisted, as we know.
