I have had the same printer for seven years now, and it has performed very well with no major issues.
I love my printer because all I have ever had to do was change the ink when needed.
However, one morning while I was in the middle printing an important report, something was going wrong with the printer. The ink was not sticking to the white paper, and it smudged when I touched it – something I had not seen before. I contacted the IT guy to see if there was an extra printer in the building, but unfortunately, there wasn’t one. I requested a new printer, but I wanted the same model until I found out that they were no longer being manufactured, and the few that were left online cost $700. I thought that was too much for an old printer, so I did something sneaky that to this day, I have not admitted to. The Purchasing manager Steve and I have the same printer, so I convinced the IT guy to switch our printers because the Purchasing manager was out of the office that day. I was able to print my confidential report with no issues. When Steve got back, he wasn’t happy when he realized that his printer was switched out, and I did not tell him what I did, and I made the IT guy swear to keep the secret. Steve purchased a new printer for his office, but he had to wait a couple of days for delivery. He got an Epson printer, and he has been happy with it. I will never admit to taking his printer, but I am worried that I won’t be able to find my printer when it needs to be replaced. Perhaps, I will get an Epson printer as well.
