stevebeilgard Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 our hewlett packard copy/fax machine went out today. the repair shop says it's not repairable. we don't really need a fax machine any more, but i do want a printer for her computer. what is the best available, in your opinion. doesn't have to be the highest priced, just a good reliable unit at a fair price.

huntersdaughter Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey daddy, We have a HP Photosmart printer which I think would be up your alley. You can print out pictures and such. I think that it was relatively cheap at Wal-Mart. I will look around for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I personally would look at a Laser printer from somewhere like Office Depot. They have been having great sales on them. Some color printers have been just over $100 and they will last MUCH longer than ink jets. The quality is much, much better too......

It took me a second or two to catch that one........ Find out what brand/model your looking for and then check E-bay. Usually 1/2 price compared to retail outlets. BTW..............I've got a boy and a girl.........best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Find out what brand/model your looking for and then check E-bay. Usually 1/2 price compared to retail outlets. Careful with that. There are quite a few printers out there that actually work great but have no updated drivers for XP or VISTA. If you find one you're interested in make sure you can download an updated driver from the manufacturers website for your operating system before you buy it. A printer without the right driver technically still works but it's not "compatible". I've had many many different printers over the years and Lexmark is what I've had the most luck with.

Buckslayer Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Steve, If I had to do it again I'd go with a laser printer --- from my experience the toner cartridges last longer than inkjet cartridges, and while initially more $$ per cartridge, it pays off in the long run to go with laser. The quality is a little better as well. (plus laser prints faster!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 A business can usually get a discount. Did you try Sam's Club or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
