In the vein of printer scrappage, I'm finally going to dump my first
ever and most worthless inkjet printer in the world - the Tek 4695.
I got it at the Hamvention a _long_ time ago for $200 when that was
a scorching deal. I found out why - I was really looking for a 4696,
since AmigaDOS came with drivers for it. The '95 clogs. Bad. At
least I didn't go broke buying ink for it - a former client *gave* me
dozens of ink cartridges because they dumped their printer a couple years
earlier.
Every couple of years, I seem to make a purchase that does _not_ work
out. This is the one from about 1989. Later, it was a Syquest 44Mb
drive. It was nice, but the carts cost so much that I never bought any
more; I just used it as an expensive 44Mb semi-fixed SCSI drive. :-(
To that end, I have decided to get rid of the 4695. If anyone is foolish
enough to want it, it's yours. Otherwise, if you want parts, make a wish-
list and I'll see if there's anything worth scrapping out of it (I'm
curious what processor is inside). You can ask for the printhead, but I
think the yellow jets are fried (or impacted).
