I am need of a printer. Just a regular, run of the mill, no frills, A4 printer. Quality isn't really an issue, I don't give a shit about photos, it's mainly going to be used for printing random shit you need printed off the internets, like keyboard layouts for games (I'm playing flight sims again ). The thing I'm having difficulty with is finding one that lasts for more than 3 pages and doesn't cost more than my car to refuel.
It typically costs more to buy a single own-brand cartidge than the printer itself, so you almost might as well get a nice one with a scanner, little screen and memory-card slot with wireless network operation as a nice-to-have. Factor in the cost of replacement cartidges at the start, HP being the most common have the most cheap alternatives, and in my experience have the largest ink reservoir, although the cartridges also house the print head, which can up costs.
The best option is of course to print everything out at work.
