Sigh, printers. At my office, we have about 40 dell printers...all complete with little smart card readers on the inside that make sure the toner that we're using is "genuine".

The problem? Even if we are using toners directly from dell, they will get errors that say "Invalid Cartridge", meaning we have to take it out, shake it around, sacrifice something to michael dell, and hope it works when we put it back in.

Printers are the most frustrating part of any IT persons day (other than maybe, just maybe, fax machines).

You forgot about scanners.

The most economical choice today is the combination printer/scanner/fax machine. Three frustrations in one!
