What brand of printer do you own & satifaction

by djralphc - 4/4/06 6:42 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I own a DELL all-in-one 922. It does an excellent job, including color and black and white photo scan and print. I really like it because it was free as part of my purchase of a desktop computer.

Brother printers the best

by jdkearney - 4/4/06 6:43 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

Brother for ever. The toner cartridge is separate from the drum. You only replace the toner as needed. My HL-660 ran for 13 years before needing a second drum. Now I have an HL-5250DN. The best yet!

I have a Brother

by bbriley - 4/4/06 6:57 PM In reply to: Brother printers the best by jdkearney

MFC-7420, and have had it for about six months. I love it so far - very reliable, the initial toner cartridge (partially full, as it came with the unit) is still in use after much printing.

I have not used the FAX component, but the copy component also gets a lot of use in our household.

Brother Printer

I have a model HL-5240 and it is great. Fast and sharp text. Had a HL-1240 for about 3 years and needed a newer faster printer.

Samsung CLP-550N. Built in print server, color, & duplex. Great printer for the $450.00 that I spent for it new.

My printer

by Carol77garr - 4/4/06 6:45 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

About 4 years ago, I had to buy a new printer & brought home an Epson, was disgusted with it & took it back the next day. I bought the cheapest HP (only $100) and have had it ever since & it has operated better than a Canon or any other kind I have ever had. The HP people help me when I need help & never ask for $$. So, next time I need a printer, I will buy an HP.

Epson Stylus Photo 2200

by BobCPhoto - 4/4/06 6:45 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

This is the fourth Epson which I have owned in the past 15 or so years and I am competely happy with it. When the photos are tweeked just right and printed on the appropiate paper they are super. The printer is capable of printing up to 13x19 and that is a BIG print. I regularly print up to 11x14 without any trouble. The new Chrome Inks are also great. This is my choice as it has served me well since I first got it about 4 years ago. I have placed several on my walls so my guests can readily see some of my animal and scenic photos plus some of my portraits. I get nothing but great compliments.

Epson Printers

by Bigsteeler1 - 4/4/06 6:47 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I have the Epson C62 and the Epson Photo 820 connected to my computer, I buy all my Ink from Printpal.com that offers the best prices on Ink with free shipping and 15 percent off discounts. I can purchase 6 color cartridges for what I would for one at an office store. HP printers make you buy that expensive ink and If you print alot like I do that can get expensive.It nice when you can buy Ink for 4 and 5 dollars each instead od 35 and 40. So yes I'm very Happy with my epson printers my C62 is 4 years old and still rolling and the 820 is 2 years old.

HP Color LaserJet 3800

by Edsel62 - 4/4/06 6:49 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

This printer replaced the old HP LaserJet 5MP that I had been using for about the last 10 years. The old HP I had always did an outstanding job. I have had the new printer about three months so far and have been very pleased with it.

What kind of Printer do I own - 2 HP's

by lthomson01 - 4/4/06 6:50 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I own two HP printers. One is a HP PSC750 and I really like the flat bed scanner and the quality of the print but the replacement cartridges are really expensive if you print a lot like I do. I also own an HP Laserjet 3015 which allows me to fax and the laser helps me keep my printing costs down for my regular every day black and white printing. However, something in the software on the laserjet doesn't interface well with my PC and I think it's because I'm networked to two different HP printers and they won't place nice together. But it's easy just to X the box and they both still work really well.

PSC 750

Have you tried compatible cartridges. I have had no problems with mine. Did not like color quality of refill service and returned for credit.

After eight printers...

by jcallas - 4/4/06 6:51 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett Moderator

Our family has had eight different ink jet printers over the years according to my last count. We have had HP, Epson and Canon. While all have been fairly dependable and done what was necessary, I like may Canon i860 very much. It is dependable, does great photos and is easy to use. In fact, I appreciate it so much I bought my son a Canon Pixma for Christmas.

An added bonus for both of our Canon printers: We can refill the ink tanks at home with relatively cheap ink without any problem.
