Like at least one person above, i got tired of dried-up ink cartridges. I retired the printer portion of my old 3-way printer, and bought a second hand b&w laserjet (for what you can buy a fine new one now). I use the old colour scanner, the reliable b&w laserjet printer, and take colour print requirements to my local store for fast, economical, good quality prints.

A little cumbersome, but for now, i get the best compromise of convenience, cost and quality.

Try listing it on eBay cheap as spares and repairs, someone may buy it for tinkering. If not take it down to your local WEEE recycling facility and they can recycle it for you. Check out http://www.weeerecycleelectronics.co.uk for some information on WEEE recycling in the North East of England

Printers are very desirable for geeks, do-it-yourselfers, tinkerers, and others who make electronic things. They have all sorts of parts– motors, switches, lights, wires, connectors,etc–that can be extracted and given a new life. If you have any friends of this sort, ask ‘em.

Sadly, I’m in the same boat as you. I already ditched my last printer and already this one seems to be on its last leg. I have decided to print all my photos at the drug store since it is actually cheaper that way anyway, but I’m kinda stuck when it comes to printing recipes and stuff. The are designed to break. I would like to figure out a way to do something useful with the machine so that it is valuable again.

What about taking a retired printer to a toy library or children’s play centre? My nearest toy library has furnished play areas for children: a supermarket(where my pensioned off, clapped-out calculator gets used as pretend check-out till), a dressing up corner (with pensioned-off clothes, bags, shoes, hats) a kitchen, a clinic, etc. What about a offering goods for a play office, where little ones can play ‘office office’? Kids then get to play with grown-up things that are often out of bounds. I guess one must make sure the items are clean and have no sharp bits poking out.
