I now have three printers on my desktop

I don't have a clue why, but my new Lexmark multifunction printer will no longer print card stock! So I went to Walmart to see about returning it, turns out they only have a 45 day return on electronics and I know it's older than that (even though it's only had 75 pages through it).

So I'm wandering around the computer section and they have a Lexmark Z611 inkjet printer. For $23.

Screw it. I bought another printer. It's insanely cheap, but it is surprisingly good output, and most importantly it has a proper paper path for feeding card stock! Chances are the two ink cartridges cost more than the printer, but at least it has two ink cartridges, a lot of the ultra low-end printers now just have a single cartridge. It printed my heavy-duty card stock just fine, so I now have a test set for a new two-player game that we'll probably play at work tomorrow after the boss leaves. I also fired up the laser printer, did some form updating, and I now have a complete production set for Zombie Cafe and Karaoke Screams.

I don't work until 6pm Monday, so I'm going down early and hitting up some printers to see what kind of deals can be made to produce Karaoke Screams in sellable quantities.

For something under $200 or so, I'll buy it from Best Buy and their ilk if they have it on sale. Higher prices = more searching.
