I had to buy a new All-In-One

Tweet

Well, it finally bit the dust - my color printer/fax/copier/scanner. For a while now, I've been meaning to get it cleaned because the black wasn't printing properly. Then this past week, I was trying to scan or print and it wasn't working. I did finally get it to print - although not correctly because of the ink issue - but not scan. I really need the scanner part more than the printer part because I have to scan a lot of stuff for the tax returns I do at home (yes, I'm still doing taxes for people this late in the year...). After messing with it for 3 days, I decided that since it was 3 1/2 years old, and I had only paid $126 for it, that I had gotten my money's worth out of it and it was time to get a new one! I first went to Office Depot because I always go there first. It was a good thing that the one I decided on (the Epson Artisan 800) was out of stock because when I went to Best Buy I remembered that I have a $30 rebate coupon from them! Of course I didn't have it with me, but I have up to 30 days to bring it back to the store and get the credit for it on this purchase! I got it home - and after what seemed like a couple hours - had it set up and running. I was able to scan in some documents that I should have e-mailed someone on Thursday and this morning I can finish scanning in some tax information for some of my clients. WOOHOO!!! I'm back in business!!!! Now I just have to set the fax part up and it's totally ready to go - I think... I do like it much better than my old one (Brother MFC 5440CN). And I hope it lasts a long time too!
