Probably easier to buy it... ;-) JB PS, All of the major printer companies give away printers at break even or a loss. They make soooo much money on ink (all inks) that they can afford to give away printers just to sell ink. For instance, the single item that contributes the 'most' to HP's bottom line is.... ink sales. Likewise with Lexmark and Epson.
