Question Recommend me a decent printer for my PC.

As above, will probably print some photo's off so it needs to be good quality, will be doing lots of pictures as well as other bits for lessons I have to prepare, basically a good all rounder is required with reasonably priced refills.
Opinions?

Cheers

Tony

HP printer drivers are designed by the devil. I would never buy an HP for that reason.

I have an Epson all in one printer that's wifi and AirPrint compatible so I can just send pictures from my iPhone or iPad and of I am out can email them to the printer, inks are very cheap for Epson and quality is pretty good.

I have the older one of these Tony

CLX-6260FW by Samsung. been bullerproof 1000 prints per Toner. quality is good enough for lessons, Toner Packs are 130 quid for 4

If you need Photo quality then youd have to go Epson, but be careful as they block up badley.

My dads a professional photographer and he uses them but throws them away every year due to blockages etc

this is what hes currently got, with a 3rd party Ink delivery system

Id be looking at Laser if quality isn't paramount, but the lasers are very very good quality, just not Photo worth. if you get my drift.
