[Gloucs] Printer, scanner and All-in-one's

[CHANDRA FERNANDO]

Iff you have the space, keeping running systems intact can be
wise - invariably some jobs are far quicker on a system you

so, keeping operating records for the old is unavoidable!

You would find a means to refurbish the tank in  Google,
very probably.

Good luck with the new ...
