| 857026 | 2010-02-10 21:44:00 | I am needing to purchase a new printer, multi function, preferably seperate ink tanks and up to $150.00. Any feedback or user experience would be appreciated. | rny (6943) | ||
| 857027 | 2010-02-10 21:52:00 | I would avoid Lexmark and Brother. I would choose either HP or Canon. |

| 857028 | 2010-02-10 22:31:00 | Thanks pctek, a search of previous topics would tend to support your suggestions. Most Canon's though, seem to have a multi colour cartridge. | rny (6943) | ||
| 857029 | 2010-02-10 22:33:00 | Why avoid Lexmark. I have been using one for 4 or 5 years with no problems, although the ink dosen't last long if you do alot of printing, and the ink cartridges are rather expensive about $50 each as they have the print head in them. :) |

I would also recommend that Lexmark be avoided. I dont like the HP MFC software either. So Then that leaves Canon.. -or Brother, very cheap. |

| 857032 | 2010-02-10 23:55:00 | I would only buy a Canon at this point. Though I have a dislike for all ink-jet based MFC's. | razzarphenix (2626) | ||
| 857033 | 2010-02-11 00:20:00 | I would avoid Lexmark and Brother. All I can say is that I have a Brother mfc 7820n working now for 5 years without any problems. Just lucky? :) |

| 857035 | 2010-02-11 01:21:00 | Trev and notechyet: Basing your experience on one or two you have owned is not a good test of reliabilty. Take a look at reliabilty/problems over a few hundred and then see. They are like Acers. |
