Steady on there! The LJIII is not crappy! It may not print so well but
at least you can sit on it if you are short a chair, or use it as a
stepping stool to reach a high shelf. It'll still turn over and print
when all the current models are long dead and gone.

With a new genuine HP cartridge I've actually had pretty decent
results, but it's worthless with the cheap cartridges.
The problem I had with it is the 300DPI resolution. That's not really
enough to do fine pitch SMD ICs.

It seems best to have a dedicated cartridge for TT, or even a whole
printer. You can use a cartridge for regular printing long after it
has stopped giving good TT results so don't waste the early life on
regular printing.
