(Note on inkjet printers - we prefer donations of HP printers because of their reliability. However, if you live in the Boston area, and you have a small or large-scale donation of operational inkjet printers and/or cartridges made by another manufacturer that are reliable, we would gratefully receive them, but please not Epson inkjets, which use an unreliable ink formulation.)
