    Depends what sort of printer you have. I have a sh1tty brother Laser that would go in the bin if it broke. I have a stock pile of 3 toner carts that I paid £25 each for from staples from the sale bin.

    I'd pay a dirty toner-covered monkey to fix it if the printer was worth more than 500 quid.

    Meh, if a printer like that gets broken round here, we get some contract helpdesk lackey / hardware chimp to sort it out. We can't care less how, problems such as a broken printers are beneath us lofty consultants!!!

    No I meant. If you worked in an office. Printers and servers dont just get replaced. They get repaired with parts.

    I suppose if your backward enough to be working in a dot-matrix office then your probably right.
