Slightly damaged colour laser printer

David from Tawa

Brother HL-3170CDW free to a good home. It's a great printer but our inquisitive toddler damaged the transfer belt by taking the cartridges out and putting them back in repeatedly.

It's a great printer but our inquisitive toddler damaged the transfer belt by taking the cartridges out and putting them back in repeatedly. This means that some of the colours are faded in vertical strips on the page, and there are occasional spots of black. It's not a big deal for most purposes. We ended up needing to upgrade to a scanner/copier anyway, so this is now surplus to requirements. We bought some replacement toner cartridges while trying to diagnose the problem, so there's plenty of toner to go with it. The replacement transfer belt is about $170, which is less than half the cost of the whole printer brand new, so it's still worth something.

"I am currently in a foster home with my sisters, and my foster mum says I am timid but become friendly with time and patience... can you give that to me? I would do best in a quiet and stable home, with people around to offer me support. I would not settle with a busy home or one with young children. I am quite a chatter box and have a very playful side. If this sounds like your kind of cat , please get in touch and we will put you in touch with my foster mum."

It’s a time for fine-tuning your skills and pushing the boundaries, catching up with your mates and heading off on new adventures at the drop of a hat! No, we’re not talking about your 20s, we’re talking about your retirement.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.

Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

It has been a rough two years for Dolly the collie. The problems with Dolly’s limbs began when she was 10, resulting in the surgery on three of her four lower limbs. Her fourth limb may require surgery in the future.
Over the last two years owner Alla Baider has spent $25,000 trying to keep her beloved pet mobile.
Dolly has an empathy with people, that really shone through the Covid lockdown, she said.
“On top of her good looks and winning smile, Dolly has a supernatural sense for whenever someone is feeling down or in pain. It’s impossible to still be upset after receiving a warm hug from her.”
