PS: Like the printer picture? That’s what my printer looks like. I got a deal on it (of course) a few years ago.  I never use the fax part and it’s a bit goofy looking, but I get free ink refills at Walgreens with it! (my catridges always fail the test after they are refilled meaning I don’t have to pay, but I pop them in my printer and they always work!)
