[wplug-market] Free HP DJ 400

[Beth Lynn]

Hello,

I've got a HP Desk Jet 400 that goes to the first taker. I do not have the 
time for drop off service so you have to set an appointment for pickup.

It is a late-model Color inkjet that I haven't used in awhile.

Why it's good: Small form factor. This thing is surprisingly light and it 
folds up nicely.

Why it's cranky: the front form feed no longer grabs paper but the rear 
page feeder works if one page at a time is acceptable.

Why it's iffy: all of the ink is dry so I haven't been able to test it 
fully.

Why it's old fashioned: I obtained this printer some time around 1997 and 
it was a huge upgrade over the color dot-matrix I was using before. At the 
time I didn't mind swapping the color ink cartridge with the black one 
because it can not use both at any given time. If you use the black 
cartridge you can print grayscale but if you use the color cartridge to 
print a black text you wasted a lot of color ink as it blends all of the 
colors together. If grayscale is all you need, you can just buy the black 
cartridge and just use it as so. The color is low-res so you don't really 
want to try to print your family photos with this. If I was keeping this 
I'd pass on the color.


Why I can't keep it: I have 3 printers in my house that I am keeping 
making the people to printer ratio 2 to 3. It's clear that I don't need it 
so I'd rather someone else use it.

How you can claim this: just respond to this email. on or off list.

How to pickup: make arrangements with me as to when you can pick this up. 
Please specify as to which location would work better for you - my South 
Hills Whitehall home or my workplace CMU. It is small enough that you could 
take it with you on the bus or throw it in your backpack for non-motor 
transportation.

Deadline: respond by Saturday July 8 at 5pm. This date is important 
because it is the installfest. If I don't have a taker before the 
installfest, I'll bring it in then. If I don't have a taker by the end of 
the installfest, I'll donate it somehow.


Thanks,
Beth Lynn
