| 1158829 | 2010-12-06 07:27:00 | Yep, I use Canon, but I'd still exercise a great deal of caution regarding the ink tanks and the availability of clone tanks before buying a new model, as they might change their tactics at any moment if they think they're gonna get away with the same sh!+ as all the others. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||
| 1158830 | 2010-12-06 07:31:00 | Actually, the HP laser at work has been top notch. Never ever stuffs up the paper feed... unlike the endless Brother lasers before it. Don't like Brother lasers at all. Plus the Brother driver packages seem to have been put together in a very haphazard fashion with insufficient documentation regarding their function/purpose. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||
| 1158831 | 2010-12-06 07:36:00 | A lot of my clients use the Brother HL2150N & it seems to be a good printer as long as you don't overwork it. | Greven (91) | ||

| 1158833 | 2010-12-06 09:34:00 | I've just got a Canon MG6150 to replace the MP620. The new one has win7 64 drivers & is a breeze to set up. I use it as a network printer. You select during setup how you're gonna connect it & it finds everything all on its own. Print quality is excellent. Aftermarket ink killed the print head on the 620 (I was told by canon). It took a couple of years, but it killed it. Bond & Bond had them on special which made it cheaper to buy a new printer than repair the old |

| 1158835 | 2010-12-06 21:44:00 | I've just got a Canon MG6150 Yield is approx. 341 pages per cartridge. Sigh. This is why I bought the HP in the first place. had a browse last night and found only 1 Canon that does 1000 odd, and the damn cartridges are $100 each!!! From the cheap shop. My current ones are $25. And as for the Laser suggestion - I looked at that last time - it's the same story. Pages per toner instead, and I bet they do the same sneaky stuff anyway. Not to mention cost per toner. |

| 1158838 | 2010-12-07 09:07:00 | I don't worry too much about how many pages I get. That said I did read that the big ink cartridge in my new printer printed 1700 pages of text at 5%. Probably BS. My dad used to have HP printers & the print quality was always rubbish. Don't know what the new ones are like as they don't get a look in. The Epson printers I've had all made enough noise to wake the dead. My sister has Lexmark & the quality is rubbish. I like Canon. Quiet, fast, good print quality, plenty of features, good price if you wait for the specials. After the last experience with cheap inks I'm going to stick with genuine. It's not that much more than aftermarket ink. At least Canon guarantee the ink & if it buggers the printer, they fix it for free. That's what the little man at Canon told me + you don't have to go through the courts or whatever to prove it like you do with the cheapies. No I don't work for Canon or anyone else. I work for ME | Phil B (648) | ||
