Looking for a reliable printer. No bells and whistles. Pls state the
model number too.
Anyone?

What kind, laser, inkjet, other ?
For what will you be primarily using it?
How much printing will you do with it?

I have one, and it;s very good.

I got my old canon on its legs again. Thanks for the feeback/
responses.

I personally hate canon, but i've been through every other major brand
and they all suck and canon was my last choice.
Here's how corny this canon printer is. It has the power button on the
CORNER!! You cannot even feed paper into the tray without a fight
because the tray is not even smooth! I mean c'mon! .. yet it's the
best printer I've found! Scary.

I've yet to find a truly faithful printer that prints without any
flack reliably over and over. Reminds me of answering machines. It
took decades for the human race to get one to work bug free. So much
for technologically advanced innovation.

Try finding a decent keyboard these days. It's nearly impossible.

If you can get a Cherry CyMotion Expert where you live, I highly recommend
them. The same goes for Thinkpad laptops.

I have laser printers, inkjets and plotters in my house of the Canon and
HP brand. In all there are eight printing devices. I can't really
complain about any of them. They are all very reliable and work well,
especially the laser printers and plotter. The plotter is almost ten
years old. Maybe I'm just lucky with, or less critical of, the printing
devices I use and the performance they provide.


I second that Michael. I rarely have any problems. A little cleaning
and tweaking here and there and all works well. Then again, I have a
brother that would have trouble with a #2 pencil. Some folks have bad
Karma with anything mechanical and that's not a crime either.

Very true. I'm actually amazing at how well printers work considering
how complicated they are and the precise nature of their operation.
