Hi<br><br> I am aware that we dont need more printers but I thought to check with you before I get rid of 2 printers.<br><br> One is a serial printer multi-function Espson stylus 6600, and another is a USB multifunction printer Epson stylus CX5200. I am sure that somebody could make them work or hack. They turn on but the printing device gives me an error.<br>
<br> Please let me know if anyone would like to play with them or if I should take them somewhere else.<br><br>D<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 8:35 AM, jim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim@well.com">jim@well.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

deconstructing things can yield an often<br>
overlooked class of goodies: fittings and<br>
other mechanical oddments that are impossible<br>
to find at retail stores.<br>
