Brought injet printer up from Hilo "office" and installed it in place of laserjet. Printing OK but we'll need to monitor it over time to determine if altitude or humidity affect its operation. Hawaii Community College Electronics shop informed me at one time that they repair HP laserjet printers. Past experience is that repairs by any shop is quite expensive. If inkjet works, we will keep the failed laserjet for parts to maintain the one attached to the Suns.
