see it's not that i need to print things all the time that's the problem. the problem is when i need to print something that i can't print at work, or being able to scan something rather than take a picture of it with my phone. my other printer hasn't been able to print for months but what finally broke me was when it stopped being able to scan and i had to send a form to my FSA through taking a crappy phone picture and cropping it.
