RJT>Yeah.  I don't have any printers hooked up to any computers here at the mom
RJT>though I do have a laser,  an inkjet,  and a dot matrix here in the room.

I have several lasers. A HP 5P on my mail machine. A Epson Action Laser
1500 o nthe Test bench and a HP Laser1100 with serious paper feed
problems and a almost non working HP Laserjet Series II
That is rounded out by my Epson Dot Matrox 870 and a Canon Bubble Jet
200 Ink Jet.
After sop many years of using the Laser Printers I have no inclination
to use either the Dot Matrix or Ink Jet again.
OF course I have absolutly NO use for Color. Even the Black Ink is to
ofar to expensive ror me as I print too many copies.


RJT>MMC> I actually changed from the dot matrix to the ink jets when I
RJT>MMC> discovered my 20 year old supply of dot matrix ink had all jelled
RJT>MMC> up in the bottles!  I tried several solvents to get it flowing
RJT>MMC> again, but not much luck.  Not even WD-40 thinned it!

RJT>I wonder what they used?

RJT>MMC> Hey, when WD-40 fails, it's time to quit!   :-))

Actialy WD-40 is a very poor Solvent as well as a Lubricant. IT was
designed as a Water Displacement chemical for the US Military. It has an
afinity for Water anbd is excellent for salvaging electronics that has
gotten wet for some reason.
Some even foolishy used it as a TV Tuner cleaner. But the most it did
was to remove the Factory Lubricant and the tuners wore out sooner then
necessary.
