Computer Gurus: I Need a Printer

[elcaBob]

Choosing any old printer will do, as long as it's an HP.

I can get you anything that Best Buy has at a pretty good discount. Let me know which one you decide on, but they don't have the best selection when it comes to printers.

This one looks pretty good....

I was a freshman in college in '05 that's had a pretty rough life - moving in an out of dorms every year for awhile, then around rooms in the house, occasionally getting knocked on the floor

I had to read this two or three times to realize you were talking about a printer!

lol, I ended up buying a printer this morning from Amazon. We decided to get a monochrome printer for home use to avoid excessive toner costs. The printer seemed to get better than average reviews and was on sale. Has 8000 sheet high yield toner cartridges for about $60 or $30 if you buy the compatible off brands, built in automatic duplex, expandable memory (bought 512MB on ebay for $20 to go with it), 10/100 ethernet card and wi-fi. I'll give a report on it when it comes in.

I am an IT guy who has seen people try to save money with other brands of printers, and regret the decision later.

I hope this doesn't happen.
I really think the newer brother printers have improved a lot.

I really wanted to buy an HP. They didn't seem to have what I was looking for once we decided to go B&W only. They have only one wireless laser printer on their website.

I have bought 2 of the Brother B&W lasers and one of the color lasers and they have all been outstanding printers.

I have a fleet of HP and Cannon machines I support on a daily basis at work. While HP's are good machines they are not built like they used to be. The good thing is they are so widely used that getting re-manufactured cartridges is very easy as compared to some other printers.

However I think only paid $30 for my last B&W Brother cartridge at Cartridge World.

That printer has really had it rough, I really think it may be unable to me killed. Like Kenny.

I got my printer in and set up this evening. I've got nothing but good things to say about this thing so far. The print quality is amazing, the setup was a breeze and the instructions are straightforward, detailed and clear. It connected to my MAC filtered, WPA2-PSK network with ease and all computers whether wired or wireless print to it. It is set up in the back bedroom with only the power cord. I'll update again in a few weeks after it has been put through it's paces.

Win 7 x86 Wi-Fi

All working flawlessly, effortlessly.
