After scouting around major electrical shops around Botany Downs (the nearest suburb from my area), I think this printer suits my family's need best (i.e. it is able to print black-and-white documents and occasional images). We do not fancy one of those super multifunction printers where you can print, scan, fax, print from memory card etc. etc. The budget is around NZD150 (preferably, less than that). Cheers :) |

| 468487 | 2006-07-04 10:40:00 | i've sold a few of these - it's an average printer & copier - but it should serve you well. price is good - make sure there is a black & colour included. it's an old model, but that doesn't matter - that's why it's cheap | quarry (252) | ||
| 468488 | 2006-07-04 10:51:00 | That link goes to an HP multifunction. Looks like a lot of options for the price. Glad to hear it's only cheap because it's an old model - or I'd have been suspicious. |

| 468489 | 2006-07-04 11:31:00 | Avoid the Epson CX3700. It appears like it is quite cheap to run (ink wise) because of individual tanks, but it chews through ink like mad. I went through nearly 3 black cartridges (1 of which was a high-capacity cartridge) for about 500-600 pages of printing, mostly text. | somebody (208) | ||
| 468490 | 2006-07-04 18:30:00 | If you do not need colour, have a look at a cheap Laser. About three years ago I got fed up with the prices of ink cartridges so I bought a Laser.It's still running on the original toner cartridge. No mucking about with ink cartridges. |

| 468491 | 2006-07-04 22:07:00 | If you do need colour, buy a Canon, any Canon except the bottom of the line model with a combined ink cartridge. Benefits of Canon: *Reliable *Excellent paper handling *Good "middle of the bunch" print speed *Excellent print quality, especially photographs. Even non-photo models do a good job on photo paper *Individual ink cartridges, you get to use all of the ink before replacing *Full capacity cartridges supplied from new *Transparent cartridges so that you can see for yourself that they are full (or empty). I an currently running my 4th and 5th Canons and have only ever had to replace them for upgrade reasons. Bought the first in 1995 for $1795!! Prices sure have come down, both in dollar terms and against inflation. You could buy a high-end colour laser for the equivalent amount in todays money. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Well........why does he? Is it having problems? Whats it too old for? If you need a new one, fine, if its not doing what a newer would, fine, but changing it just because? I did that once, my printer was 7 years old and started to play up. So I bought a new one. I hated it, its printing was fine but it went through ink like toilet paper. SO I sold it and bought another (working) old one which gives me 840 pages per cartridge. Cartridges cost $19.99. I don't care about other features or even quality particularly so it suits my needs. |

| 468493 | 2006-07-04 23:34:00 | Well I don't seem to use my Canon i550 as much as I used to, since all my B&W is done on a laser. And my brother has a i950. Perhaps I should sell it... :nerd: | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 468494 | 2006-07-05 00:05:00 | Another vote for Canon. :thumbs: | FoxyMX (5) | ||
