The ink went up to how much?!
When the cost of the ink cartridges for the old decrepit printer is almost as much as the cost of a brand-new three-in-one printer, it’s time to buy a new three-in-one printer. Yep, I bought one yesterday. (Happy birthday to me…)
By taking my old printer in, I received a fifty-dollar rebate, which lowered the cost of the printer even more. I am a happy camper.
Now I can scan, fax, and print. It also has a port where I can put the card from the camera and directly print photos from there.
We have so many photos over at the MIL’s house I had no idea of what to do with them. Most of the photos we have no idea who the people are in them, no children to pass them down to, and no place to store them. Yes! I can scan them, store them on a flash drive, and toss away the mountains of photos. This idea works!

Congrats on the new 3-in-1 and what a great idea!
I was wracking my brain on what we were going to do with all those photos because I didn’t want to deprive DH of them. I have very few old family photos of my own due to strange circumstances. Scanning them seemed to be the best thing–we don’t have a big house and lots of storage.
I told you last month the same thing happened to me when I went to replace the cartridges for our 2 year old Epson all in one….a brand new faster and more featured Epson with triple sized cartridges cost me $20 more than simply buying replacements for the older unit….that was before we got the $30.00 rebait from Epson on the new printer. It didn’t require a masters degree to decide on replacing the old one….and they wonder why the landfills are getting so much more volumn. Welcome to the throw away society we now live in.
I don’t feel bad about buying a new printer since the one they are recycling is only printer number two for me. I was astounded at the leap in the ink prices This is their way of getting people to scrap the old but still working printers.
