I bought a cheap color laser (cn3100) from Dell about 3 years ago for
a bit over $300. For my low volume use it is completely satisfactory.

Whoa. My el-cheapo HP 2600n 'warms up' in seconds. I don't print too
many color pages, and never color photos, but I've never noticed it
being particularly slow. Works great.

That's the going price these days - Staples is also $99. As with all
inkjets, where they make their profit is by selling you the ink
cartridges. I can't imagine wireless setup would be easy if you
couldn't do it via a control panel over USB. I mean, I can't imagine

On Ink jets I always look for individual color ink tanks. I go through
yellow faster than everything else and on three ink tank would only half
empty the other two. I tried to standardize to one brand of printer in the
house because I have Ink that works on both printers.

At present I have three different Epson printers.
RX700
R300
CX8400
I use generic cartridges in all.
The CX8400 uses chips and they have made a system that works
successfully with the chips but it is not perfect.
Matter of fact the refills I got for the CX are from Ebay.
No blow ups no out
probably only comes .53 percent full too..

I remember that but it was only for newer carts.
My RX700 does not use a chip so I have had no problems.
the CX8400 does have a chip and I am pretty sure these are from off
shore. They are a two piecer. A tank with ink, plus a shell with the chip.
They are not the same quality as Epson

While AIO and wireless are attractive features, do you really need
color? I just bought two laser cartridges for our printers, one was $25
for 2000+ copies, the other was on sale for $20 for 2500+ copies. Color
inkjet cartridges cost many times more. Is it worth it?
Do you really need
I do both.
I have a BW laser that I urge the family to use for everyday
printing that does not need color.
However when it is time for color I like the AIO.
The fax works great especially for RECEIVING FAXES. Very rarely do I
send one, but I do get them in. Computers do not work for this
Yes we've been tossing around the same questions. We have a small HP laser,
refills locally at a dealer are 65 bux. We think the drum may be going out
because for about the last 3rd of the cycle it's been dropping toner on the
left side. I faxed today...last week twice.
But yes, these things

Ok...now I can't make up any mind. Fry's electronics has a refurb to
factory spec samsung color laser for 110 dollars. This seems closer to our
need, will give us some color when we need it, but will also handle the
output for my wife's school needs.

Talk to others first and read reviews.
One of my members bought one of these and returned it he was that disappointed.
Ended up getting an HP.

I know that many of us (Except a few on this list) are constrained by
budgets when we choose computer accessories.
But I have found that when I buy a budget printer I get exactly what
I paid for.
The Workforce line from Epson is supposed to be pretty good.
Also look at the HP office jet

That's 99 bux at fry's electronics, anyone have opinions? Any reason NOT to
jump on this at that price? Replacing a tired one my wife uses almost
exclusively for school. Any thoughts appreciated.
