A printer that just WORKS?!
Never spent much on printers because we only need the basics - low print runs, okayish quality but not photo stuff and something that just works.
However the ones we get just don't seem to last long at all and I HATE setting them up. Trouble is, I'm not convinced more money means better durability - just seems to mean more pointless features (we have a scanner and don't need to fax for example). Any suggestions for a printer that just WORKS and carries on working without being buried in silly features? Happy to spend a bit if needed but don't need a silly thing the size of a car! Needs to be compact. |
cheapest HP laser printer that takes a proper HP LaserJet Cartridge
a couple of years ago it was the HP 1100 i think |
HP Laserjet 1018 or its nearest equivalent. £30 - £50

Cheers - will check them out!

Our HP printers at work take a hammering from printing prescriptions all day. I've never seen one break.

:thumb: :thumb: I'd not have another Epson or canon though. When I DI buy a photo printer, I'll get a decent HP one. |

As I've mentioned before my Trust uses HP Compaq kit and it never seems to put a foot wrong :D
Unlike some of the Brother stuff we have :( Shaun |
Bought an HP CP1515n colour laser printer in the end.
So far so very good. Nice to have a "grown ups" printer at last. Shame the toners carts are £75 each - YIKES! |

Out of interest, why not? I've got a couple of Canons, and they've been 100% reliable so far, and been pretty heavily used (had them 3/4 years each). I wouldn't touch an HP photo printer personally. Had some very bad experiences with their stuff (and Epson). Their lasers are ok though.. |
Phew!
