No, there's nothing really 'modern' about it. it doesn't even have a

Good for you... a year and a half ago I purchased an HP Officejet 6500A and the thing works great. Only trouble..i don't print enough and the large ink cartridges are coming up to their 'best before' date.



Make sure you stop using them before the expire date. Or else.



Just buy the under $100 printers and when the cartridges run out of ink

just buy a new printer.


That's a great idea... fill the landfills with the old ones.
