Get a laser printer. Period, end of statement. Spend at least a few hundred dollars on it, it'll last you a decade and a half, and it'll have much better drivers than the jokes that inkjet printers come with. Plus, you'll get supplies that won't go bad if you only print every month or two. Inkjets are just complete and utter crap.
- greyskull 13y agoWe have an OfficeJet. The color ran out a year or two ago, and I haven't found a need to replace them; I just print B&W. The only reason I didn't switch is because I couldn't find a multi-function laser printer (I need a scanner and the auto feeder) though admittedly I barely looked. It seems there are more options now (well rated Brother on Amazon), so that's my next buy once the black runs out. Screw ink printers, never again.
- frou_dh 13y agoAgreed. A basic laser model was a revelation to me that is possible to buy a cheap home printer that isn't destruction-baiting garbage.
- maxerickson 13y agoI have a $100 Brother laser printer that has been pretty fine for light duty for ~ 5 years so far (but that's at a print rate where I am still using the starter toner that came with it, with tape over the window). Wifi/Network too.
- welly 13y agoIt depends on what job the printer is for. Printing photographs? I'd use a laser printer as much as I'd use a dot matrix printer. High end inkjet printers are simply unbeatable for printing images. Documents? Laser every time.
