If you will not include your state.

I wouldn't care to respond to this

even if she did include the state. Since this question is asked 3 or 4 times a week in here she can find the answer quite easily if she's so inclined.

Please ignore the ignorance of some notaries who feel they are above the "beginner". Instead of wasting your money, buy yourself a laser printer. At least 8-32 m of memory. I have a HP 3380 Laserjet and a HP Laserjet 3015 (fax, copier, printer). Basically, it comes down to the cost of the ink replacement. I buy one for $70 then refill myself 3 times @ $5 ea. (Saves money to refill.) You may contact me directly at my email if you need help getting started in the business. [e-mail address].

Re: Taking a little initiative

The original post said "I am a first time Notary and I would like to know how do i get started and what type of laser printer do i need to be a signing agent"

and your reply "Please ignore the ignorance of some notaries who feel they are above the "beginner"

----

I am going to speak for all the regulars here (and please chirp in if I'm stepping on toes) is that we aren't ignorant and certainly don't feel above the beginner. The original poster is a prime example of why we have our attitude. The poster is lazy and won't take the initiative on his/her own to do their own research first and then post specific questions derived from their research. "How do I get started" -- well, that's a million dollar question. They gave no indication of where they are located. It has been posted over and over to read threads/posts from the beginning. As for the printer question, AGAIN the topic has been discussed at length in several threads which can be found by using the search button and/or just beginning at the beginning of the threads and reading until the end -- but that's probably too much work for this beginner, although they *might* even learn something. Instead, it's easier to just to say "do it for me." I think most of us are willing to help any beginner who shows an interest and has already done some homework of their own. Anyone can ask generic questions wanting us to lay everything out on the table for them. The ones who will make it are the ones who actually have a desire and are willing to try to find the answers to their questions on their own, too!

Thanks for your help i didn't know that asking a question would get so many people mad, but the ignorance of some of these notaries need to be overlooked and we need more people like you in this world that is willing to help someone.
