Weird, I hurt my shoulder at work today too. But it's been messed up for awhile, so I'm not surprised it got worse.

So, it's stinking 30 minutes after 0000 and I'm still awake. On a day off too!!! What is wrong with me? First day in like two weeks when I dint have to be up at either 0200 or 0500. And yet I still don't take advantage of catching up on sleep. :-S

Just curious, my printer cartridges are both out of ink and I either need to refill them ($80 OEM), get a new printer (my printer is seriously out of date and I'm considering the color laser at Office Depot for $199), or get them refilled. Apparently Walgreens refills them for $13/cartridge. Does anyone have any experience with Walgreens' refill service?

I have twice had lexmark ink cartridges refilled at Walgreens and would not do it again. the first time it was refilled and my printer still read it as empty. the second time I had one refilled the cartridge began leaking inside my printer. I have had them refiled at other places, and they never seem to last as long as a new cartridge.
 
Yeah... we refilled our B&W at Walgreens a while ago. At first, it kept "streaking" our prints and ruining them. The problem resolved itself after 10 or so prints. Now it keeps giving us an "empty" message. Meh.

I've found the price of a new cartridge to be less taxing than the frustration and ruined documents that routinely accompany "cartridge refills"
 
You could upgrade to a laser printer, but remember, toner is going to be about as expensive to replace as the actual printer. They will last a while though.
 
Might consider taking cartridges to a refilling specialist like rapid-refill. You give them your old cartridges and pick up an already filled cartridge that they brand themselves. Should be a much higher quality than Walgreens.
 
Thankfully, my printer is so old (Deskjet 825) that it doesn't monitor ink levels. I ended up doing it last night and it only cost me $13 for both since the color cartridge didn't pass their print test. 30 seconds at home with some Q-tips and hot water and both are running perfectly so far.

Toner is expensive, but my understanding is that the toner lasts a lot longer and doesn't dry out like can happen with ink jets.

That is correct.

Plus, I much prefer laser to inkjet. Just my $0.02.......
 
That's why I was considering color laser, especially since I don't print color all that often (at least not what couldn't be just as eaisly achieved in bland and white. I actually found a decent color laser printer for $199 ($200 off at Office Depot), but for $13 a refill, I think I can stick around until Walgreens screws me over.
