I need to get a new printer and was wondering what all of you are using? I have always used HP and have been very happy, just wondering what you guys thought of other brands.

Guess I should also add that the wife likes to print 4x6 glossy prints to make albums, so something that prints those well also.

I have an HP Deskjet 5150. Color. Prints photos, too (with the right paper, of course)

The fact that the number '5150' is cop speak for a crazy person is mere coincidence, I assure you.

I have a Lexmark something or other.

It faxes, scans, copies, and prints......slowly.

Cool thing is that it has wifi connectivity so I can stick it in a corner somewhere and don't have to worry about hooking a computer up to it.

Andy, thats another thing I will probably look for. Got rid of the desktop and went laptop finally. Would be great to move the printer off the desk and be able to put it wherever I wanted to.

I have not used inkjets in years. hate the way ink can smear or fade. cost of laser has come down a lot. as far as printing photos I use costco's online print feature. up load photos and go pick them up an hour later - better quality and cheaper.

have mostly used HP, but have not been all that happy with the last couple printers.

Won't do ink anymore. We just replaced our last inkjet with a Samsung CLP315 that was on sale at Office Max for, I want to say $150. Thing is not fast but works just fine. Wife prints a lot of photos and pictures for the kids in school and this won't run when it gets a little wet.

HP 6130 is a good "cheap" inkjet printer.

They are $149 retail and on sale for $119 to $99.

I got one on Presidents Day sale for $74.99.

It has about 6 photo card slots and is a 4 in 1 (i.e. fax,printer,copier,scanner).

Keep checking Staples and Office Max sale flyers every Sunday around a holiday especially.

#6 Ditto. I'm the IT guy and in charge of purchases for my offices. We had free inkjets with package deal computers for most stations when we opened. Once I got the money and a shot at a decent sales price on mono lasers, I ditched the inkjets. The cost of the tanks alone was killing me, worse than I expected. I can get toner cartridges from LD products for our laser printers and multifunction machines for just a few dollars more than the inkjet tanks cost, and they last a hell of a lot longer.

In other words, forget about the curveball, Rickie. Give 'em the heater.

Incidentally, one of my attorneys boned a laser printer pretty badly. I want to force her to correct the mistake, but she still needs a printer. I had an inkjet lying around new, in the box, and that's her backup now. If I had another, you could just have the damned thing.

I too hate inkjet printers. For 5x7 prints I do use an Epson PictureMate. 100 sheets of print paper and an ink catrridge that will print all 100 sheets sells in a package for about $28.

All other printing jobs are handled by an Brother laser printer.

I swear by my...HP Officejet 7310 all-In-One.

I'm using an old HP 932C DeskJet. I like the idea that you get new print heads evrytime you put in new cartridges.

We have always used Epson with good success. For a bunch of pics, just email to Costo and pick up whit in an hour.
