[ale] (OT) Looking for a printer

[Dow Hurst]

Also, put your inkjet on a surface that is stable enough so that while 
printing the inkjet doesn't rock back and forth.  Over time the printheads 
will wear faster on a system that rocks back and forth during printing.  I've 
found that out the hard way!
