I applaud you for staying on '95. But after 20 years maybe an upgrade may be in order.
Yea, this was my experience too. I could not justify the high cost of original manufacturer ink cartridges in such an old printer, and the off brand printer head on cartridge type were too unreliable. It was cheaper to replace the machine.
Thanks, one and all ,for your much appreciated comments/advice. I am clinging to the hope that the new one was bad but ............if I swab the printhead(?) with a moistened Q-tip and the Q-tip gets very discolored, doesn't that mean that the ink is there and available? Before the swabbing the metal is shiny .
I am going to miss this old system........not connected to internet any more but has spreadsheet capabilities. Perfect for security.. The newer Macs we own don't , AFAIK, have built in spreadsheet capabilities? Well, Numbers is there and maybe it's just being unfamiliar ,but it doesn't seem as versatile as Excel .
Then there is stuff like Google sheets but that's stored out there and I would have some concerns about that.
