Anyone know anything about printers?
Hey guys!
Soo after 5 long years my hp printer finally gave out. I started looking for a new one and I saw walmart has this one on sale.

Would anyone recommend me buy this one? All I do is print my notes and a few pictures, nothing intense.

Thanks!

I'd go with a laser printer, it will be cheaper in the long run...

That printer will eat your money every time you need ink cartridges.

Got one of these almost 8 years ago. Thing is an absolute beast and the ADF copier is amazing.

Any printer will do. Laser is more efficient on ink but toner is expensive.. I got this one on boxing day for 50, the same price it is now.

I have a Canon printer. Image Class serious. It's a laser printer, copier, scanner and fax.I LOVE IT. it came with a tester toner. the guy at the store said it would only last 100 pages, but I was able to use it for about 500 pages. It always goes on sale in Staples.
Only con is that its Black and white only. but I dont print colour anyway.

go laser; the amount youll waste on ink will more than easily be able to make up for the small difference in price

Buy a laser printer. I bought an older Brother all-in-one with copier/scanner that came with only a half-cartridge of toner for 2nd year. I'm now starting 4th year and I have yet to replace my toner.
