My better half and I were at PC World, about to buy £90 of printer inks (2 blacks, 1 colour, IIRC) for her HP1215 printer/scanner. For just over double that we instead bought a Kodak 6150 printer with extra inks and better features (wifi/ethernet networkable, feeder for scanner, double-sided printing). Packs of 1 colour + 1 black cartridges cost about £18. (For the HP, it would have been over £30). As far as I can tell, the cartriges do around the same amount of printing. cheers Bruce -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

What Valter said! If all you want is B&W go for a laser printer. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Need printer advice
Hi Group, I want to buy an inkjet B&W printer, not all in one. Do any of you use a Cannon printer & is it good? I am looking at Models iP6700D, iP3600 & iP4820. Any advice?
