Hi,
We should accept that if it's cheaper for us to buy a new printer than fix the existing one, no sane member is going to take the old one, and any plan to replace it should include planning for the prompt disposal of the existing one. It's lovely to think about repairing and upcycling but if we've already decided it's not economical we should act accordingly and not just keep it around the space forever.
Thanks,
Iain.
