I bought a new printer last week

I have an ol' HP Office Jett, from like 1999 printer, fax, photos, copier & scanner
it uses the (IIRC) $85 HP23 color & $40 HP45 Black toner cartridges
it's about something like $125 every time for new ones now,
I do get $5 each for old empties :poke:
glad I only need them about once every 2 years
getting harder & harder to find too, served me well for 21 years
Staples was the only place I looked last time...

one of these days I'll get a new printer
Amazon has repops.

Set up videos and YouTube. **** THEM. What start button? The written instructions worked.

This video makes it look easy....I'm guessing it's not. It may pay to re-install the printer as a new one.

 
Figured out the screen. Upper/lower case culprit. Done.
 
For business purposes I bought a replacement printer last week - a Brother Colour Laser 3230-CDW. A very nice printer, and a newer version of my previous printer.

I bring this up here, because I wonder how many of you out there have found it cheaper to buy a new printer c/w Toner/Ink, than it is to buy replacement Toner/Ink?

It cost me $249 local....a set of new Toner cartridges was going to cost about $700 all up - for genuine ones. I know you can get generic cheapies...but in my experience, they ARE inferior quality.

The world has gone completely mad, when you can buy a new printer, instead of replacement Toner or Inks cheaper than fixing up the old one.

And for the skeptics and critics out there, even when you factor in the reduced number of pages outputted on the 'supplied' toner, it still works out 50% cheaper.

Absolutely nuts that is....and we're worried about Global Warming???? :rolleyes:
....try some of the discount replacement cartridges off Amazon.....they are so cheap, that if they fail....its no biggie.
 
I’ve had the Epson EcoTank ET2750 for a couple years. Never a problem, I’ve had to clean the heads twice when I didn’t use it in a couple months. Still using the ink that came with. With my old printers I’d have to go buy new cartridges every time I needed to use it. this is much better with way less BS than before.

Yup, Ecotank is the best option... I too have had to clean the heads a couple times, now I've set the printer to run a color test once a week so everything gets used... Still on the included ink & haven't opened the extra refills yet...
