You _could_ put what you want to print - as .pdf files ("print" to .pdf
from whatever, I use pdf995) - online somewhere before you go to the
library, and remove them after you've been. (Inside password-protected
.zip files, if the library has a means to open those.)
Any mileage in that suggestion?

I'd still say a small mono laser would do you best, though. And/or, if
you really go months between prints and only do a few then: use your
colour inkjet once a week or once a month (whichever turns out to be
necessary to keep it working); set the computer to remind you to do so.

Most of the kinds of places that have copiers printers etc., are 30
miles from me. AND it isn't too practical if I've got an engineering
project and want a neat paper schematic to work from, to stop what I'm
doing and (only) drive 6 miles or more and drive back That takes
time. Unproductive time. Not conducive to staying focused either. I
have to keep the brain cells on-task and not let them wander.
I see what you mean.
If I'm going to do all that I might just as well dick around with the
cartridge and get it working.
And, this HP printer refuses to print if the color cartridge is having
problems even if I don't want color.
Yes, that's one of the most irritating things. (I see you mention "the
colo]u[r cartridge", which suggests you have one of those models which
has a single colour cartridge: which you have to replace even if only
one of its colours has run out. Another irritant.)

Oh, have you ordered a mono laser then? I wasn't recommending that
particular one (I was only remembering the model number off the top of
my head, it may not even have been right!): not that there's anything
wrong with it (my friends are happy with it), just I thought you'd look
around!
always get something else if it doesn't do what I want. I may even
have to get my wife something. She has the problem of an operating
system that doesn't have drivers for her old HP printer.
If you do get a wireless laser, you can both use it. My friends do.
I need a printer, not too often but I do need one.
Yes, I'm the same.
