I've had the same HP Photosmart printer for the past seven years, when Windows XP was just a twinkle in Bill Gates eye. Every time I've tried to install it lately, drivers clash, bells ring, the computer crashes, and I perform a system recovery. After ninety minutes of "the printer is not connected" messages while my son was trying to work on a school project, I drop-kicked the damn thing (the printer, not the boy, because that would just be awkward) down the driveway.

It turns out I can get a FREE printer from Dell (with the purchase of a new desktop and 19" flatscreen monitor). I customized the system and put it in my cart, where it has been sitting for approximately thirty hours. I'm testing my self restraint - being impulsive isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The crackheads, gamblers and whores I work with have a pool, betting on how long it'll be before I fold and order the computer/free printer. Bastards.

	David发表: Indy, I would hold off as long as you can to buy a new system and get one that will Vista will work on. It's still a ways off yet but if you cna hold on it will be better in the long run. As for a printer... go out and get a cheap ass one that prints and then a good one with the new system later. PS: Thanks for coming by and leaving comments... I'll be stopping by here a bit more now. 4 月 24 日
	KuhnHeidi发表: At first, I was like....buy it, BUY IT, BUY IT!!!!! But after reading all of the comments...I'M afraid to buy anything!! Problems with Vista? Smaller but more expensive AND exclusive, printer cartridges....is that fucking possible?!!! Recovery, driver and resource issues....huh?!! God help me keep this thing running - just so I don't have to buy any new systems anytime soon....amen. Good Luck Indigo..... -Heidi 4 月 24 日

You deserve it, you've waited too long, and the foreplay has been great... go ahead, do it, do it NOW!! LMAO (that's all subliminal of course) hehe BIG HUGS, Steph 4 月 23 日
	Courtney-O发表: I just did that with the new laptop. I have no willpower. JUST DO IT! 4 月 23 日
	Terri发表: Once I ordered a Dell 'puter just to get the free printer. Unfortunately, I spent the next 6 months ordering ink cartridges left and right. They were smaller and more expensive than the ones at Office Depot - PLUS they were exclusive, so noone made a compatible cartridge...Moral of the Story? OMG, nothing is for free anymore. But new 'puters? MAGICAL! ;) 4 月 23 日
	Lucinda ... cindi, too发表: Good luch to ya! I'm afraid I would have already pushed "checkout" ... 4 月 23 日
	RoweStephen Craig发表: When I bought my Dell over the phone I had everything upgraded. Memory and such. Oh, yes......I was drinking. So, the $599 desktop with $200 rebate ended up costing me around $1,000. Now that is a smart shopper. Not! Smile. As ever be well. Stephen 4 月 23 日
	Sarah发表: Please note that this comes from someone who is an impulsive shopper. I have bought one new pc each year for the past four years. Last year, in addition to the pc, I bought a laptop. Sadly, we will not be updating this year. 4 月 23 日
	Sarah发表: Monday. 4 月 23 日
	Leah发表: FYI. yes the printer is free, yes it is cheap and you can only buy the cartridges for ink from dell. 4 月 22 日
	Indigo-XX发表: ARGGGGHHHH...you all are so...practical...and not impulsive. Saturday night: still haven't placed that order. Applause, please. 4 月 22 日
	in GeorgiaKatSoup发表: I have an hp photo printer and I hate it! I miss my old 35.00 crappy lexmark. You know how i feel about change. My main complaint is it prints that stupid test page everytime I turn it on. Okay the point is, buy a 35.00 lexmark printer and be happy. 4 月 22 日
	BushongBryan发表: Anything free is worth what you pay for it. But, yeah, how about just buying a printer for 50 bucks? I generally have to buy a printer every other year. They only last a year, and then I get pissed and do with out for a year, print at work, print at school, things like that. I am currenty in the printerless year. I'll show it. Look, I am a tech guy, a computer guy. XP is great. But I use 2000. I've had to work on people's boxes with XP, recovery issues, driver isssues, resource issues. I had 98, and it was an exciting quest into tthe land of when will I hit the bluescreen? W2ksp4 (Windows 2000 service pack 4) has been nothing but good to me. Solid, steady, reliable, no crashes, no glitches, no problems. I -- I think I love it. 4 月 22 日
	S.Stephanie发表: Well, have you ordered it yet??? What system? How can I get into the pool?? I'm not a crackhead, don't enjoy gambling and whore? hmmmm I prefer Slut, and I say, put me down for Sunday afternoon 4:30pm... LOL BIG HUGS, Steph 4 月 22 日
	KentStephen发表: Indigo - Knowing the hassles and headaches that come with Windows, and will be coming with Windows Vista (I'm beta testing it) I know the pain isn't over with. I'm holding my own restraint not to buy a photo printer at the moment due to I don't know if I'm going to have just turn around and get one that's Vista compatible in 2007. It's all enough to inplant anyone trying to install hardware items a fricken migraine. If you like, email me at the link above and I'll see what I can do to help. Just send all the info and crap to me and I'll sift through hopefully to find an answer. I know from experience that Windows XP Pro SP2 doesn't like many HP products. I happen to have an HP scanner and printer. <insert violent scream here> - Stephen 4 月 22 日
