PS: It took his secretary 15 minutes, of which she normally spends doing nothing. Plus his company pays for the paper and such. And it's a $600 printer for a reason, it's going to last a while.

My last line was a little in jest, however, your justification further proves my point. Not only was it of no cost to you, but now it was of no cost to your dad. How do you think your dad's company feels using it's assets to support your hobby. This is not a direct shot at you, I commend your resourcefulness, just don't come here and brag about how it was free.
