Best Home Printer

[GARY]

Ours died tonight after 4+ years. What brands and models would one recommend for home use (mostly recipe print outs and homework for two kids) kind of use?

HP all the way, every day, any day.

My best input is that every 18 - 24 months the technology, quality and size are changing when it comes to printers. I have stuck with HP as it is easy to find ink and they do tend to hold up better for home use. I have a HP 4620 for the last two years or so.

We have had a HP5530 for a while. It actually works pretty dang good, and I really like how easy it is to print from my iPhone. What I don't like is our HP laptop. Massive pile of dung that thing is, but the printer gets a thumbs up

If you don't need color, I recommend Brother. I have an MFC-7860DW. It is a laser printer, scanner, and fax machine. I use mine all of the time for all three functions. It is thrifty with the toner, fairly fast as a scanner (even at higher resolutions), and a speedy printer with a decent duplex mode.
It has been recently replaced by the MFC-L2740DW, which has even better duplex printing. We print to it from our tablets, phones, and laptops all of the time without any issue.

HP-5530 here also. Covers most all my needs.

These days Gary one can normally find an HP Ink Jet printer on sale at either Best Buy or Wal-Mart for less than the ink cartridges cost. I may or may not have just chunked them when I ran out of ink. You might do well to consider a wireless one.

I'd suggest laser jet printer from HP. Laser jets are a commercial printer and last a lot longer than ink jet cartridges. I currently run a hp1200 laser jet.

Heck, I have an older 3200 fax, scanner, printer I'd give you, but I don't live in PG anymore.

Buy any brand printer from Costco. Printers are under their no time limit 100% satisfaction guarantee. Printers have rubber band belts and plastic gears in them and lots can go wrong. I returned an HP because it was wasting huge amounts of ink doing self tests every time I woke it up to use it. Costco refunded me the purchase price, plus the recent purchase of a super combo ink pack that I bought a few weeks prior.

I bought a Cannon and it is great. I bought a similar Cannon for my office. Buying ink for any brand is pure robbery. Pick your poison.

Printer makers lose money on the printers but make it up on the ink or toner cartridges.

I run a printer hard since I move it in and out of hotels, my rv and my truck.
It gets dropped, kicked, drinks spilled on it, pushed off the table, you name it....I've tried to break them.

I own three of the Brother 2305 models....under a hundred bucks each, and they will put out the pages. Toner is cheap off amazon...
