I have a strange question that has nothing to do with windows XP but
hopefully a knowledgeable user can point me in the right direction.
I have a Lexmark X83 that surprisingly has worked for the most part
flawlessly since I bought it back in 2002........However, I have an 18 year
old stepson who hasn't worked,(flawlessy or otherwise),a day in his life.
He uses the copier whenever he wants too but of course can't pay for costly
ink cartridge replacements. He has been warned repeatedly to stop but as
you can imagine,his hearing doesn't work either and we can't sit on his head
24 hrs.a day. Short of removing the ink cartridges and/or the power cord OR
jettisioning the kid, I was wondering if there exists a similar unit with a
security code access like the larger industrial units have ? Just a thought.
Or does someone have a better idea ?

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
