I use HP Deskjet 680, not bad.
But the ink is rather expensive, especially the color one.

And, I also use HP Scanner.

Do you think a printer integrated with scanner is a better choice?

Got it as a bonus item, so that's why it's so crap-talic. :)

duno- but it saves a lot of space

Seems like the HP Deskjet's a popular item. :) But what I really want is a laser printer! We have them at school, and I just love the glossy images and the funny smell. :D

I have myself a 2400x1200 dpi, LexMark Z45 printer. Color inkjet and USB 1.1 (sorry for all of you guys still running off the LCP/parallel port :p )

My parents have a laser printer, but it is black and white (color laser printers are lordly expensive, minimum price of $500, but non commercial ones can go up to $2,000 :eek: ), and actually the print quality is not as good as mine.

In modern days, laser is generally fast; also, you don't have to replace ink cartridges (laser printers use a toner cartridge which doesn't require maintenance nearly as much).

Please tell that to my mom. :D I want one! :D

Actually BlueSoul, the black and white laser printers aren't all that expensive. About the same as color inkjet, maybe less depending on the manufacturer.

I love my LexMark (though they added some "automatic update" type features to their driver package that I'm not too fond of; though these are optional on install and can be disabled). They have been doing really well in the printer area recently.

The 3 in 1 printers, fax machines, and scanners take up less room, but generally aren't of the quality of stand alone machines.

I avoid all HP products. Besides, they are a brand name manufacturer for PCs.

The print speed depends on the quality setting and whether the page is in color.

I think we must fear that in some future people would forget how to write by hand

I use an Epson 200 color that I have had for ages. For a cheap printer it does well. Rather than buying ink cartridges, I refill them. The original cost of the printer was $125 new. I can not tell you how long I have had this thing. It is on its second computer.

I have a cheap Mustec scanner that is also on its second computer.

*whistles* Nice looking printer! :D Mine looks like a lump of rock that's sticking its tongue out.

Thanks for the info, Clarentavious! Next target: Mother appeasing. Be back in 12-16 days. :D If I don't come back in a month...:eek:

I'm part of the trend :D HP Deskjet 690c

Ink is free, four finger discount from work :D

I also built my pc from scratch, but that doesn't mean I have to do the same with a printer...
HP is not bad really, so why should I not use it

But Av, you're PC is, no offence, crap. Its almost dead

it is, but its because I was uncareful once and I short circuted it and the power block blew up and I had to replace the wireing for hard drives and now, even after I switchi it off, free electricity of 0.3 w runs through it (that is very bad)
