Recommend me: Printer for home?

Caspar · 21-04-2009, 20:34

I'm looking for a good home printer, must have scanner, colour printer, top paper feeder.

Wouldn't mind a wireless printer, or a wired prinrter server, not just USB.

I currently have a HP PSC2510, which has done me very well for years.

Would be used for home use, normal document printouts and pictures (doesn't need to be a super photo printer)

Any recommendations?

tbh I'd go & look at what is on offer at Tesco, there are a lot of 'all in one' printers available, atm, & just going for a reasonable cheap one may suit your purpose ???

Personally I'd stick with HP. The significant factor for most people with printers, whether home or business is both the cost of the cartridges, but also the ability to get hold of them. Many printer makes seem cheap, but if you run out of ink in the midst of that urgent report, and nobody nearby stocks it, you have a problem.

TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is the significant deciding factor for me. HP Carts are great insofar as the print head is integrated into the cart, but that pushes prices up. Epson are MUCH cheaper to run overall, and if you intend to do a lot of printing then a CIS (Continuous Ink System) can make sense.
I have owned Epsons, HPs and Lexmark printers, but the cheapest and most reliable have always been epson for me. I understand this may not be the case for everyone, but I tend to go Epson wherever possible.

I've got a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, it's brilliant - quite big but the photo quality is brilliant, it looks like it's been professionally done - it's got some sd card readers and stuff, built in screen too for about 50 quid, not a bad one.

Epson or Canon as they are cheap to run. Finding carts is easy but find a model and find where to get carts before you buy. I pay <Â£5 for 6 inks for my epson R300

I bought a Epson Stylus SX600FW All-in-One Printer with Fax and WiFi from Amazon for Â£91.64...looks the the real deal
