I'm after buying a printer and I know nothing about them. I'm looking for a printer that can print on paper or photographic paper for photos. I would also like a built in scanner, copier, WiFi etc and hopefully a printer that takes the lesser expensive ink cartridges as I have heard they are quite expensive depending on what brand a printer you have.
All printers use cartridges if Inkjet & toner if Laser

try the Canon Pixma range in Currys, prices start from £39.95 have had one for ages no probs at all (kiss of death) would link it but sh*t at linking I work for canon and trust me they are the best. Then perhaps you can persuade them to provide a Windows 8.1 driver for my Pixma MP800 printer!

The driver for Windows 7 should work It doesn't. I can run it in compatability mode but it doesn't always work. Canon provided updated Windows 8 drivers for the vast majority of its printers but not mine which is surprising seeing it is a top of the range scan all, print all (even CDs), copy all etc multi-functional printer. I did write to them but they couldn't give a toss & just suggested I buy a new printer.

I remember asking a mate which was the best printer, he said the one with the cheapest cartridges Came true a few years ago, was printing CV to take to an interview, ink ran out so dashed to Comet. Took a cartridge to till, handed girl £20 & she wanted more. The black cartridge was £29.99 Went to check & sales guy came over, I asked if they'd made a mistake - nope Had no choice, but a black cartridge was £29.99 & colour the same to for both it would cost £60 They were selling new printers (HP) for £50 so it would be cheaper to buy a basic printer, keep the ink & throw the printer away

Fcuking clowns. My question would be which offers the widest compatibility to ensure readily available knock-off cartridges rather than refilling. I know a good site I use for anything electrical [Link] and they do a good range, but I'd have to search for the best £40-50 printers and check if they then did the cheap cartridges for each model.

I buy all my ink cartridges on fleabay, a lot cheaper than shop prices.
You're asking me what it's all about, and I can't tell you because I don't know what's going on myself. |
