Recommend a new printer?
wrote in message ... I want to buy a new printer that can copy as well as print. Inkjet seems suitable. I guess if I need to be able to copy, then an allinone is in order. Since I have a router, a network printer would seem in order, but USB will do. I do not want trouble, which I have had with my present HP C7280 AIO. Someone recommend something? TX George I've had no trouble with my HP930 or HP5550 printers over about 9 yrs but perhaps they 'don't make them like they used to'. My Epson 2480 scanner has been great for a couple of years as well. I've never seen any good quality text from any Epson printer so that would rule an Epson general purpose workhorse printer or AIO out for me as letter quality is important. IF only photos were likely to be printed then perhaps Epson would do. HP cartridges seem to be getting tiny and expensive lately so I doubt if I would buy an HP today. Epson make the best cheap scanners and Canon make the best all round cheap printers currently, so I would buy these, not an AIO, but if I had to it would be a Canon. |

We can separate knowing we have different opinions.

I've heard good things about Epsons, too. I am not HP user but I believe if you worry about clogging then HP could be a better choice, No...Not_a_frigging_chance of that. HP = Overpriced junk, with overpriced (and at times faulty) cartridges. HP support is also *abysmal* and not worth dealing with. Their scanners are just OK at best, with woeful software bundled with them. Get a Canon. Or a Lexmark. Lexmark printers have decent output, but you might as well sell your first born if you expect them to have a normal qualityrice ratio. |

Well, this is what I would suggest .. and hope the OP will come alive from his death too bg The OP is alive and well - following this thread. My HP AIO is still failing miserably. Hell, yesterday the normal re-install to get it to work again caused my computer to crash, requiring a recovery back to 3/30. Thank God I had one. Thanks George |

I wonder if it's possible that the Windows installation has a problem and you would have trouble trying to install many different AIOs. One would think maybe so. But I have the AIO networked (via router) to two different machines, but XP SP3. I lose the AIO on both machines at different times. George |
