I desperately need a new printer as my little inkjet is guzzling ink at an alarming and expensive rate. The printer was cheap but the cartridges are working out too costly. I need to be able to print both color and black and white. I may need to get a more expensive printer which works out cheaper in the long run. Please would you share if you have a printer that you are happy with - not sure whether to go with inkjet/deskjet/laser?

We've liked our HP's. Our Brother printer used tons of ink and if even one color was out you couldn;t print anything.

FWIW, we've really liked having a printer/copier fax combo.

We opted for the B/W laser printer and only print the color ones we must have on the lexmark brand printer. The refills are easy to find and not too expensive. The laser printer we purchased is supposed to print up to 2000 regular copies. I am finding the ecno copies to be wonderful and feel we will extend greatly the # of prints.
HP Laser Jet 1020 for B/W copies
Lexmark all in one scanner fax copy print
Hope this helps

What kind of cartridges do you use? My husband might be able to give you some he has that don't work with his printers (for free.)

My tech guy husband recommends a good multifunction black and white laser printer and just using the color inkjet when it's necessary. If everything you print needs a color printer, he thinks color laser printers are really expensive and won't pay for themselves very soon, but he recommends http://www.tigerdirect.com if you want a good deal including factory refurbished items, closeouts, etc. (He doesn't get anything from the company for recommending it

)

Feel free to e-mail or PM me with specifics about what you're looking for and what you use your printers for and he might be able to give you a more specific recommendation.

We do the same. B/W multifunction laser and a colour inkjet (I'm going to upgrade this to a laser in the next year too). We went with Kyocera for the MFC because of the research my brother did into running costs - I let him do the legwork!
