convert it to a pdf and take it with you on a cell phone or pda.

printers suck.

Lemme guess:

HP inkjet that was a bargain but you have not used in a while?

I got one for $40 a few years ago and I used it to print about 20 pages and then left it idle for about 3 months and when I had to print again the whole thing was fucked. Dried cartridge, dried heads..totally useless until I spent about two hours swabbing it with 90% isopropyle alcohol and letting it dry and spending $20 to replace a nearly full cartridge.

So I solved that problem by not using them anymore. I threw mine away and have never been happier.

Ditch paper.

Go laser. I bought a laser printer in 1989 and it lasted until 2004, when a lamp burnt out and would have cost $200 to fix. Never once had to replace the toner cartridge. Then in 2004 I was given an HP Laserjet and have promptly not done a damn thing to it aside from print, print, print. Lasers are über cheap these days too. Don't do the ink thing, it's a sham.
