If I have any problems with THIS printer, I'll put a ribbon on it, but it will be a FUNERAL RIBBON! (((((Actually it is an "INK -JET" type printer, which sounds like any malfunction may involve ink spurting on something other than the paper, such as an expensive rug, or an original Mona Lisa............. My Uncle bought a TV from a van in NYC, for a great price, but there was a large rock in a tv box, and worse yet..there was no warranty in the box......(SURPRISE!)
