[conspire] HP printer, scanner

[Edmund J. Biow]

I should have mentioned, our Infomed project accepts donations of all
Pentium-class computers, working or otherwise, as well as working VGA
monitors (post 1995, preferably), ATA hard drives (>1 GB), memory (EDO
or better), optical drives, hardware modems, rodents & keyboards, etc.
Many computer recycling places charge you big bucks to accept your dated
hardware, then turn around and resell most of it.  See:
http://www.accrc.org/what.html

Also, we'll actually pick up your components for free (assuming, of
course, that you have enough stuff to make the trip worth the drive),
unlike most recycling outfits.

However we are forced to be much more selective about printer donations.
Because of the blockade, the Cubans have a lot of difficulty getting
replacement toner cartridges, so we only accept HP Laserjets and Epson
dot matrix printers.  They used to accept HP inkjets, but have found
those not worth the effort, so we have dozens of them looking for a new
home.
