Free to Good Home

Our faithful Brother laser printer finally gave up on us and we had to get a new one. Naturally, the new printer uses different cartridges than the old one did. So, if your printer uses Brother TN-210 cartridges, please come by the store to pick up five brand new ones (two black and one each of the other three colors). Also, Judi S. accidentally bought the wrong cartridges for her printer and didn't realize it until she'd opened one of them. These are also available for free. They're HP 21 black and 22 tricolor.
