I have an HP "All-in-one printer, scanner, copier" Deskjet F2100. Its a decent ink-jet printer IMO. Been one year since I brought it and runs fine, original price was $55. But as always, it has a tiny 3ml cartridge, so unless you can get it refilled, you'll soon have to buy a new cartridge which (both monochrome and color combined price) basically costs as much as the original printer!

That's all well and good, but.....you have to be practical. All he wants to do is print some articles and school projects, so a ~$50 printer will be fine.

Don't need to get THAT low-end now.

There is a moderate way of buying printers lol

In one way the older printers are better. If you can get one used they don't have the anti-cartridge refill measures in place, and find a good source of black ink you can save lots of money.

They've managed to find a work-around for all those fancy anti-cartridge refilling systems here. In some cases, they simply do away with the cartridge's own ink storage altogether and attach a big 0.3 litter bottle to the side of the printer in which ink is kept and viola! Unlimited ink!

Even laser printer toners can get refilled.

why am i version 2 of gameman ? oO

I wanted to get Espon but i cant find a retailer who sells Epson so i think ill get an hp

HP Deskjet F2120 looks nice and is all in one and around 60$ im buying it soon

First its time to get a new pc

The same model I have (or maybe I have the F2140, can't be bothered to check ). Its a nice all-round printer which should serve you well. Though its built-in OCR software is pretty sucky, and even normal scanning is pretty frustrating at times since it just saves the scan to some random location even though I've specified a directory oO

*facepalm*

Gameman, do you even know there is a word in the English language called "budget" Its what people who are financially conscious like to think about before they just run for the stores and get the priciest object they can lay their hands on
