（单词翻译）

 　　Jeff decided1 to try an older printer that he owned. He hadn't used it in a couple of years. He dusted it off. He inserted the installation disk. The disk started spinning. The software failed to install. He tried again. It failed again. He called HP Support. Benjamin answered. Jeff described the problem. Benjamin said Jeff's printer was out of warranty2. He said it was almost obsolete3. He said tech support might be able to fix the problem for $59. He said Jeff should buy a new printer for only $99. Shipping4 was free. Jeff said thanks, but he'd think about it. He said goodbye. He called NYC's 311 number. Laura answered. He told her he had two dead printers. How could he dispose of them? She said, "Well, until 2015 you can just throw them into your regular trash. But take out the ink cartridges5 first." Jeff thanked her.
