Techy Bits (vacuum and printer)

I replaced the vacuum with another one from Kijiji. $30, and came with the hand attachments the other one was missing, so that's nice.

Now I have to get myself to throw out the one with no hose. I'm anxious about throwing it away with useful parts on it, but I also don't want to cut the cord off for reuse because then the vacuum isn't usable at all. I know it's not usable at all right now either, but it would be even *more* unusable and that just feels wrong.

I'm also trying to get myself to get rid of an all-in-one inkjet printer/scanner I grabbed from by the dumpsters. Looks like it works perfectly well but is out of yellow ink. Buying new ink doesn't really make financial sense, and I kind of feel like inkjet printers shouldn't even exit at all because they're just such a waste in so many ways.

I tried putting cloth over it and using it as a step so the dog doesn't keep jumping down from the couch (I'm concerned about her knees long term) but she is frightened of it because she is a silly little thing.
