Cash For Clunkers (Printer Edition)

Famous scene from the 1999 hit, "Office Space."

As many of you know, a few members of our group have been on a Quest For A Decent Printer. You know the drill...years ago, you were suckered into buying a cheap printer at Costco, because, well, it was cheap. And you've been paying for it in $40 ink cartridges and crappy, sideways-eaten paper jams ever since.

The cheap grad student in you won't allow you to throw out a printer that, okay, technically, sorta works.

But as Margaret, Tanya, and several others have noted, going into your dissertation, you're going to be printing a lot. So it's worth the investment to finally put the nail in the coffin and upgrade to a printer that doesn't make you homicidal.

The student loan checks for the fall semester will be released soon, so you might want to know about this deal:

Office Depot (location nearest to CGU is 2268 Foothill in La Verne, on the south side of Foothill near the Edwards movie theatre) is having a promotion where they'll take your crappy old printer - it doesn't matter what kind - and they'll recycle it for free and give you $50 towards a purchase of a HP printer. The promotion runs August 2nd through September 26th. Only certain HP purchases apply, there's a list on the website.

Traded in a much-despised Lexmark Z55 for a HP Officejet Pro 8500 (in its enormous box)

In addition, if you sign up as a teacher (adjuncting counts!) you get a 10% discount on top of the $50 off.

Price of the printer, minus automatic rebate, printer trade-in, and teacher discount

$50 for that hunk of junk ink-vampire that's cluttering up your desk and making your laptop announce "The printer is jammed" every five and a half seconds.

And they'll recycle it, so you won't have "I just gave a shitty printer to some poor sucker at Goodwill" on your conscience.


Who hasn't fantasized about dragging their printer out into a field and beating the living daylights out of it?

  11. I am a new blogger and I have to say that I started to visit ShoutMeLoud after finding a very interesting post about some info that I was looking for. I have to admit that after receiving some of these great post on my email and reading through them, I have found on this blog a huge source of valuable information that helps me climb to a higher level every day.

  12. Thanks for the tips. I now understand how commenting can create value and show other bloggers my blog at the same time.Thanks again.

  13. I did like the honest approach in the article accepting that we are all trying to promote our blog or business, we want to promote but at the same time add value. I also think it highlights the difficulty some of us who are probably ‘old school’ about building our brand. I am also conscious that I could spend hours a day commenting on blogs when I should actually be concentrating on my business itself. Blogging is serious business and it’s not easy to get it right.
