I have an HP inkjet printer, which I bought very cheaply on sale.
It works well enough, but I rarely use it
-- it mb 12 mth between prints -- & the ink cartridge dries up.
Probably, what I need is a laser printer, as IIRC toner doesn't dry up.
There's a printer available at my usual store (Canada Computers) as below.
Can anyone advise me (1) whether I'm correct re ink/toner drying up,
(2) whether there's any reason to beware of the Brother model below
& (3) if I buy it, how to I install the driver ?
-- I'm used to using Hplip & Brother drivers may need a different method.
