Default Why so wasteful?

Yesterday I found a printer on the street outside a house in my neighborhood, since trash day was tomorrow (or today...) I assume it was left for them. I took it home and it turns out that the AC Adapter for our office printer fits this one, so I was able to test it (the printer still had a USB cable in it). Regardless, the printer works fine, it just needs new ink, the scanner also works fine...what a waste if you ask me, though it works out for me cuz I need a printer until I figure out what's wrong with my laser printer.
The printer is an HP Photosmart 2610v, it's got a color printer, scanner, copier, fax machine, and camera card reader on it.

I was certainly happy, originally I was just gonna take the USB cable but the printer wasn't that heavy (I was walking home) so I took the whole thing.
I would have been happier if it was a HP LaserJet 4000n that worked but it's still a good score

Nice find!

I've got one similar, though not as nice. It would be funny if they were just waiting to take it inside or something, and then there's you carrying it off down the street lol.

Often the printers cost less that the replacement cartridges, maybe this is what happened here...
