Update: Printer I bought from last week's deal arrived, plus a heads-up on returns

Quick update to my post from last week about a basic home printer deal. I ordered one of the simple all-in-one models someone posted here, no coupon or anything, just a straight price drop. It arrived yesterday and I'm pretty happy with it. Setup took about 10 minutes, black-and-white prints look crisp, and it paired with my laptop without a fight.Two things to watch for if you jump on a printer deal:1) Check the box label against the sticker on the unit before you toss the packaging. Mine had a different region code on the sticker than the listing photos showed. It works fine for me, but it nearly gave me a panic attack because I ran into an "older revision" surprise on a previous purchase. I took photos of the serial sticker and the packing slip as soon as I unpacked it.2) Returns get weird once you open the ink. I printed a quick test page, then realized I had ordered the wrong cable for my setup. Customer service said the printer itself can be returned, but if the ink bag has been opened they may deduct for "consumables." I'm sticking with the printer, but I wanted to flag that for anyone who might change their mind.Overall, the deal was legit, shipping was fast, and this sub saved me from overpaying locally. If you hunt deals for boring home office stuff, take a minute to document everything before you recycle the box. Thanks for the recommendations last week.
