HP OfficeJet Pro A3 Injet Printer $50

Andrew from Kaiapoi

HP OfficeJet Pro A3 Injet Printer

Upto A3 size Scan/ Print /Copy
It comes including 4 new compatible ink cartridges ( 3 black 1 blue)

It was functioning fine before being put in storage for over a year ago, print heads will probably need cleaning,

It is showing ink cartilages empty , so HP wont let it print with empty cartridges,
HP has been taken to court many times in the past for stopping the use of empty or refilled cartridges, as it is against the law to prevent the use of refills,and due to this there is some sort of way to bypass the HP software. but I don't know how. There is lots of info online.
Or you can just get some new compatible cartridges, that are easily available and it should work fine.
Just $50 as I need the space. the 4 included free cartridges are worth over $100 by themselves, so grab a bargain.

Price: $50

Fears motorway toll could leave North Canterbury town worse off

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter

A community leader fears a toll on the proposed motorway extension could leave a North Canterbury town worse off.

Woodend-Sefton Community Board chairperson Shona Powell said she fears Woodend could face increased traffic without promised safety improvements, if a toll is introduced on the Belfast to Pegasus Motorway extension, which includes the proposed Woodend Bypass.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) last month announced consultation for a toll of $4.30 for light vehicles and $8.60 for heavy vehicles (including trucks) on the new 11km Manawatu Gorge Motorway, which will be completed next year.

It means commuters could be stung with paying an extra $43 a week in their travel costs.

The agency said the Belfast to Pegasus Motorway extension will be 9km, including the Woodend Bypass and the realignment and four laning south of Pineacres.

Woodend residents have been waiting for safety improvements since NZTA began consulting with the community eight years ago.

But the safety improvements have been placed on hold, pending the progress of the motorway extension.

‘‘My biggest concern is people will continue using the existing road through Woodend and will go through Kaiapoi or Tuahiwi to avoid paying the toll,’’ Powell said.

‘‘And Woodend may not get the safety improvements, so nothing changes.’’

Powell was also concerned the speed reduction from 100kph to 80kph on State Highway 1 between the Pegasus roundabout and Waikuku could be reversed, following changes to the Setting of Speed Limits rule being announced.

‘‘It was a speed limit requested by the community as a safety improvement.

‘‘To go back to having that fast speed limit for traffic coming from the north, it would just be disastrous.’’

NZTA director regional relationships James Caygill said the Government Policy Statement (GPS) on land transport requires the agency to consider tolling for new roads.

‘‘But it is too soon to discuss any potential tolling options until the scope and cost of this project has been confirmed’’.

Caygill was unable to confirm whether the 80kph speed limit between Pegasus and Waikuku would remain.

He said the agency will identify locations affected by the rule once it is finalised later in the year.

Transport Minister Simeon Brown said Waka Kotahi ‘‘is working at pace’’ to deliver the motorway extension.

‘‘NZTA’s project teams are reviewing the scope, design, cost, and timing of all Roads of National Significance projects to ensure consistency with expectations in the GPS on Land Transport 2024.’’

He said Government ‘‘will support any recommendation from NZTA to toll roads’’.

The Government was also committed to ‘‘reversing Labour’s blanket speed limit reductions’’, Brown said.
