Lexmark Z32: "Printer not Ready..."

Hello Cari,
I love him too but I would never wish him to know it! bg My printer, the excellent and most artistic of critters, and a 'family' member to boot, is recovered. The problem?

Lexmark Z32: "Printer not Ready..."
Hello Cari,
I am an avid follower of all the BBC offers. It is a little naive perhaps, to think there are bargains in the world of the 'new' anything. One's experience teaches, and my experience of Lexmark, as a company offering service for it's product, is unparalleled. I shall go, for a first visit, to your website. Best wishes. Ben. -----Original Message----- Excellent news!
