[GPSCC-chat] Fw: GP HP Printer?

Sun Dec 19 19:37:28 PST 2010

   I've never used it, but if it's anything like my old 5si it's a real workhorse.   Half of
its mass is the bulk paper feeder, and that's an optional accessory.  So it's not really
washing-machine sized.  It's like two mini-fridges stacked, and you can do without the
lower half if you don't want it.  I get name-brand toner cartridges on Ebay for 1/8th 
the price of new HP cartiridges, and 1/4 the price of OfficeMax refills.   

  If nobody else wants it I'll tune it up and make it reliable so I can find it a home.

  In any case I'll deal with it.  I can fit it in my car.  It's my mess, I'll take care of it.

The printer will fit in my car. I am willing to transport it. I cannot help carry it. I cannot give it a home.

Hello:  

      Might anyone provide space for the Green Party Printer?  If it doesn't find another home in the next few days, it may go to a place that recycles old electronics.  

      It's a large HP color laser printer.  Caroline said it's bigger than a washing machine but smaller than a refrigerator.  It's currently sitting in Andrea's garage, and she needs it moved before ~January 1, preferably sooner.  If you have space, we might be able to get others to move it.  

      Cameron hooked it to a router so it could be used as a network printer.  By comparison, he said a new desktop color laser that prints roughly 3 times as fast can be purchased for perhaps $250 today.  A toner cartridge set runs roughly $125 and lasts perhaps 40,000 sheets.  If those numbers are accurate, then toner is roughly 3 cents per page.  This makes it much cheaper than color ink jet -- and cheaper than color copies at a copy shop.  If you wanted the current GP printer, the party would pay for the toner to print GP literature.  

      Cameron suggested we give it to a place that recycles old electronics if no one wants it.  

      Comments?

I hope somebody can help get the printer moved for Andrea. I can't.

Caroline,

Maybe someone should plan to remove the printer from Nightingale?  I have a very 
nice couple moving in January to take over the place for a couple of years, 
maybe three if my health continues to allow me to live up on the mountain.  It's 
out of color, but I figured that could be replenished when GP wants to print 
more stuff.

Also, I have your frame for the banner.  And you have my audio book that I 
haven't heard yet!

I will be in Sausalito with a friend's dog for Xmas, beginning the 23rd, so I 
won't be around to help with anything.  So it's the next few days or later in 
the week—probably mid-week.  Have someone call my cell with a SHORT MESSAGE 
(please) and let me know if someone might be able to haul it away.  We're going 
to have to find a permanent home for it eventually, anyway!

I'm about 100 emails behind, espec with the GP stuff due to HC business and the 
January newsletter.
This is a copy of the December newsletter with my interview with Susan Sackett, 
personal assistant to Gene Roddenberry.

If I don't see you before, have a great holiday, and take care.
Hugs,
Andrea
