Good monochrome $100 printer?
I have an HP Deskjet 1000. Many problems with it and a warranty
replacement. Finally gave up trying to use it. Canon Pixma MG3122. Keeps giving out-of-paper when there's plenty. Running built-in print roller maintenance seems to fix it but it's so frequent that it's a big PITA. Don't know how long the roller maintenace will fix the error. Any suggestions for a _reliable_ less-than $100 monochrome printer if there is such a thing? A bit more expensive? I use the printer infrequently - a letter now and then or print out something I researched on the net. I have an old LJ 3. needs pickup roller I bought installed. Worth paying to get it done instead of a new printer maybe - it was extremely reliable for many years? Suggestions? TIA. -- "Where there's smoke there's toast!" Anon |

Haven't used any Samsung printers but look at the Staples web page for the laser printers & see the 3 laser printers withe wired & wireless connections; 2 of the 3 has auto duplexing & do believe one or 2 of the printers are at the "eol"/no longer made. All the Samsung laser printers are at $99.98 or $99.99 at the sale prices posted. Samsung SL-M2820DW @ $99.99 wired/wifi auto-duplex (new model?) Samsung ML-2955DW @ $99.98 wired/wifi auto-duplex (may be discontinued) Samsung ML-2165DW @ $99.99 wired/wifi (may not be auto-duplex) Prices of laser printers have dropped dramatically for what one gets for doing mono only. |

The printer is an all-in-one laser, auto-duplex & usb/wired/wifi so can be used on a network. Pricing is very attractive as in $99.99 at several places, Amazon, Newegg & Staples (a "special" buy) & at Best Buy. Looks to be a "soon to be discontinued" model as a newer version may be starting to ship. The toner is "expensive" depending where you buy it but Monoprice may carry it like it did for my HL-5250DN I got back in 2005. The HL-5250DN is still running good with lots of life in the hi-yield toner yet but both the printer & the Canon 8400F scanner takes up much space; don't use the scanner much anymore & win7 looks to be the last year for driver support while the Mac OSX ended with 10.6.x. $99.99 is a decent price for my "occasional" printer use these days. |
