Ebay or worse some legacy support joint. The catch with paper trays is that almost NONE of them have any kind of identifying marking, so that when I find a "tray" if I can't visually ID it, most of the time I know its going to NEVER be IDed, hence no value to anybody. Most of them get tossed. I don't recognize that printer model, but do see 300XL and 1200XL (unfortunately also typically going in the trash).

Now is the time to buy cartridges too, as MANY big dealers are dumping them, and when its gone its gone (at decent prices anyway).

Did my mention of the actual part number for the HP tray kit and how to get it not come through? You paid $4 for t he printer and even if you add the full $50 list price for the tray set that's cheap for either the 1200c or 1600c printers. If you didn't get the message I can resend and also check to see what my other suppliers get for them. Also the tip on buying mass qty's of carts is valid as they will clog/dry in the jets - part of the mechanics of the type of ink inthem. Refilling is ok a few times but you have to remember that it may or may not be as good as the original. -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Richard Erlacher Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2001 9:08 AM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: OT: replacment tray for HP DJ1200C printer Thanks for the pointer, Doug. I searched on the HP web site and couldn't even get a nibble with the DJ1200C as a search term. I had the general sense that this printer uses the same trays as some other peripheral, either a laser printer or a plotter, either of which is more likely to turn up in the thrift stores or surplus outlets than a DJ1200C. I paid $4 for the printer, so I'm not out much if it ends up too troublesome. Unfortunately, nothing else in the world seems to use the same printer cartridges. This printer happens to have nearly full cartridges, and it's pretty clean, aside from the missing feeder tray.

They're designed only to deal with low frequency noise; when you turn them on it's like someone stuffed high-pass cotton into your ears. Voices sound perfectly normal but the drone of the engine sounds like it's in the next county. The big problem is power density -- these things only have to provide cancellation in the confines of a headset ear cup. Cancellation in the large would obviously require much higher power levels. I remember when I first heard about something like this, back in the mid-to-late 70's.

A friend of mine was telling me this story where he was on a street corner and some jerk was blasting out the neighbourhood with This Year's Annoyingly Foul Rap Artist. Up behind him comes this Corvette and the Corvette's driver sticks his head out and asks the miscreant to please turn it down, to which the driver's response was a single finger salute and more volume. So the Corvette driver, without a word, turns on his stereo and proceeds to drown the entire intersection in Vivaldi. The expression "some of his own medicine" comes to mind. By the way, I never noticed the snippet of the 1812 Overture before in Rush's "2112 Overture". Shows how ignorant you can be about music. :-) -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * ckaiser(a)stockholm.ptloma.edu -- Make welfare as hard to get as building permits. ---------------------------

Yes, my neighbors (of many ethnic groups) are quite cooperative about such things. But the people driving through the neighborhood tend to be completely uncooperative. And the police around here will NOT do anything based on a complaint with a license number. If they don't hear it themselves, they won't follow up. BTW, the first time that I heard one of them, I thought that it was a bad crankshaft main bearing - still don't know why somebody would WANT that volume anywhere near themselves. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin(a)xenosoft.com On Thu, 21 Jun 2001, Jim Strickland wrote:

I tend to think this is a really bad idea. Destroying someone's multi-thousand dollar stereo is bad. If he's got a pacemaker and you kill him, it's worse for YOU, as the judge and jury aren't going to think alot of your reasoning that his music was too loud. Either put up with it, or ask politely if they'd turn it down, or write down the licence plate number and let the guys with badges, kevlar, and guns deal with it. Not as emotionally satisfying, but much much lower risk. Or simply bask in the knowledge that they'll be stone deaf by 40, and you'll still have your music. *snip* Now of course, to be perfectly hypocritical, I'd LOVE to get my hands on a transmitter that convinces celphones it's the closest cell, effectively disabling every phone in range.
