Printers

Hey, I dunno if I posted this before but my parents are looking to get a new printer. I am curious to see what ones you recommend. My mom is going towards an all-in-one.

We have a 4 year old HP that has been a peice of crap.

Right now I am leaning towards a Cannon or an Epson.

Rule # 1 to by printer: First checkout the price of the cartridge, then buy the printer.

I have a new HP that was only like $89.99. It was setup in under 5 minutes and does copy/scan/print.. fax for an extra $10. Its quick too.. The pictures I printed from my digital camera looked just as they would getting them developed..

Yeah! I know the price of the cartrige is important. HP has some pricey cartriges.

Ohh and if anyone suggests a lexmark printer I am going to go over there and slap you.

cannon or epson as you said

their new cartridges do not have print heads built in so are a lot cheaper look for compatible ones instead of official ones and be shocked at how cheap they are

just bought a cannon ip4000 2 days ago. well pleased with it. had a cd tray to so you can print directly onto the top of the cd
it has a usb port so u can connect your camera but no memory card slots.

i think the printer to get at the mo is the Epson R300 (iirc). similar to the above, its slower but can do higher res, and has a mem card slots.

both cost £99 in the UK.



but either way they are not all in one, but i thought i would shere the info

We were looking at the:
Stylus CX5400 InkJet All-In-One Printer
or
Stylus CX4600 Color All-In-One Printer

$24 for a black cartrige is not bad, specially for an all in one

I have the CX5400 and I love it. Get ink here: http://www.1ink.com/product.asp?PID=...us%20CX%205400

All 4 cartridges for $32.99. I have yet to have a gripe about their service. The only thing I don't like is it needs to be cleaned regularly.

[atholon]

What do you mean regular cleaning? What do you have to clean?

[Dr. Bullet]

Just go into the printer properties and have it clean itself...you yourself don't have to do any actual cleaning. It's just annoying to have to do it. I imagine you'll have to do that with any printer.

Ooooooooo ok. Thanks.
