Printers are for print companies - not for consumers! 1) Dont get a colour printer - you dont need one. We can look at all out photos on screen and if we do need to print a few to send to stone age relatives then most print services are cheaper than a single cartridge for a colour printer that will block up after using it twice when you first get it and then leaving it unused for a couple of months! 2) Check on freecycle - I've been using a brother 5050 (B&W) that I picked up 4 years ago - works perfectly for all things needed to send elsewhere. Cost £3.99 for a usb<->parallel converter to plug it in to my server. Hasn't run out of toner yet... If you do feel the need for a colour printer I'd make sure I can get cheap refillable cartridges for it Tom te tom te tom
Hi Tom, good to hear from you.I see your point about not needing a colour printer. In that case, would a laser printer be more sense? I have not looked at any so far as colour lasers a rather pricey. I had not thought about your idea of having a B/W printer.
