Bascially told this IT Guy to "F" himself
Need to make a long story short here. Got a call a few weeks ago from an IT person (could not even pronounce his name). They bought a new Ricoh SP830DN printer from a dealer, and that dealer sales person told him that the printer would do color matching. He called me wanting to add software to "fix" it. Told him, that's not going to happen. Also told him that if he acted quickly I could give him a 100% trade in credit for SP830DN, took a few weeks to get the appt.
