One of the most reliable printers

Advantages: Good memory, solid.
Disadvantages: Annoyingly shrill beep when the thing does require help.

...I am currently working in a legal office. The lawyers, paralegals and secretaries on the four levels above the ?I. T. Basement? go through an awfully large amount of paper and know so very little about basic computing and this includes printer maintenance There is nothing more frustrating that being called away from some complex code because of a paper jam? and when it is the Company Director who is experiencing the printing problems then you certainly can?t tell him to ?wait just a minute.? All the printers (and there are dozens of printers) in the office are Lexmark. The T612 are the newer ones and, to date, they have never misbehaved. The T612 is solid and reliable. The T612 is quite fast as well and is able to churn out large quantities of paper over an extended period of time without any drop in speed. The T612 has its own...

Excellent all-round printer, perfect for a networked home

Advantages: Easy to use, Linux Compatible, Many features
Disadvantages: Slightly noisy

...My specifications for a home printer were rather high: double sided printing, scanning, and network; all of which combined can sometimes be rather hard to find at a reasonable price.However the J6410 had all of these, and more, and for the equivalent of roughly £100. Features The J6410 is rather well equipped, possessing duplex (double-sided) printing, a flatbed and ADF (automatic document feed) scanner. Which of the two scanning options is wanted is detected automatically, saving you the bother of choosing this manually. It can allow you to photocopy, as well as scan and print. In terms of connectivity it is really superior to many printers, offering the standard USB, as well as Network (Ethernet) and also Wi-Fi connectivity (it can be used ad-hoc, i.e. without seperate hub, or with an existing network, and supports all current...

laser printer

Advantages: laser printer
Disadvantages: bit dark on photos

...…………………………̷ 0;….................................................................. ................. Using a laser printer instead of a normal standard injet printer is great, there a lot faster than normal inkjet printers, there a lot more reliable and can carry on printing for ages without you worrying whether the things going to blow up or over heat or not. But most importantly of all, they have such better print quality, the ink stands out amongst the page which is what gives you that shiny ink and picture pages and it makes documents and pictures not only look great quality, but very professional too. This is why companies use them, so that their printed documents look a lot more professional, however all this does come at a price. These are known as office...

Give your printer a proper clean

Advantages: Quick and easy, cleans well
Disadvantages: None

... Fargo Printer Cleaning Kit The Fargo printer cleaning kit is designed for Fargo printers. Fargo printers are printers that are designed to print on plastic cards, using a ribbon. In most of these printers it is nearly impossible to get into the inner workings to clean manually, and by design they get dust inside which makes for poor quality prints and eventually, jamming of the cards. It is important therefore to periodically clean your printer using a Fargo cleaning kit. The whole procedure will take you less than ten minutes and will have your printer back to life again as good as new in no time at all. In the box In the box are the following: * 4 Printhead Cleaning Swabs - these are moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol and should be used for cleaning the printhead inside the printer. * 10...

A printer that really works!

Advantages: Quality of print, ease of use, compact, price
Disadvantages: Noisy, pricey cartridges, poor back up

...Printers, don't you just love them. Just as your multi page report for the boss comes to the last page, the ink runs dry or the paper jams. All the warning lamps are flashing like a demented Christmas tree & you haven't got the handbook handy. Yes, we all been there, trying to find a reliable printer is like trying to find an honest politician! My tried & trusted old portable HP Deskjet 340 printer had given me around nine years of fairly loyal service when it expired after printing its last page. It was small & portable, at the time this proved to be very handy as I had a small study & little space for a small printer let alone a bigger one. A new one was required but with so many people complaining about their printers which one do you buy? I wanted a printer with a built in scanner, I was now in a bigger house so the size...

Review of HP PSC1215 Printer

Dell 725 color printer

Advantages: fast
Disadvantages: does not print in true black ink color

...This printer has NEVER printed in true (or even close...) black "color". Contacting Dell support, I was told "your printer is no longer under warranty", so they would not even offer assistance. I never used it much (it was bundled with the laptop), so now when I needed it for a project, it is very disappointing that it does not work. I have downloaded and installed the "latest" driver (from 2006!) and that still did not help. I re-ran the printers test pattern and head cleaner, and no black ever printed. The test pattern is blue, pink, yellow and brownish-green. Given other's comments here about the black being a greenish-grey, I would never buy another single-cartridge printer again. I would definitely suggest you purchase a printer that has a dedicated black cartridge. Fast speed accounts for nothing if the colors are screwy!...

HP PSC 1215 All in one printer/scanner/photocopier

Advantages: Its 3 in 1 so you don't have loads of cables everywhere
Disadvantages: None

...About 2 years ago I decided it was time to update my printer and after scanning around for some bargains I decided that the HP PSC 1215 would be the one for me. It was just what I needed a printer/scanner and copier all in one with a free 3.1 MP camera chucked in to seal the deal. Style and Design ------------------------ The printer is a silvery-grey in colour and looks a bit like a breezeblock. The scanner copier is situated at the top and the paperfeeder is located at the front. There is also a LED display on the top with a group of buttons. Physical Specifications -------------------------------- Height - 6.68 in (16.97 cm) Width - 16.76 in (42.57 cm) Depth - 10.20 in (25.91 cm) Weight - 9.50 lbs (4.31 kg) Printing Quality --------------------- I find the quality quite good when printing out documents...

Review of HP PSC1215 Printer

Good quality bargian printer

Advantages: Cheap, reliable and works with Windows Vista
Disadvantages: Expensive ink if brought direct from Dell

...The Dell 725 printer is available to purchase directly from Dell online. This is what I would class as their budget range of printer. I purchased this printer nearly 12 months ago, at the bargain price of £19.99 (prices may differ now), at the time it also came with free delivery. The printer was brought as a in between printer as I did not expect it to last long at the price it was available for. Needless to say, it's been excellent 12 months down the line and it's still going strong! When purchasing through Dell, they automatically add extras on before you purchase which knocks the price up a little, you simply need to go through and take these off. For example they charge you extra for the USB cable, it's about £12, all you need is a standard USB cable that will fit most printers, you can buy these for next to nothing, and most...

INKJET PRINTERS

Advantages: can pick one up for £34
Disadvantages: price of carts

...ink jet printers seem to be the common solution to every home personal computers hard copy situation but buying a cheap printer can work out costlier in the long run. The problem is the cartrages. Even a cheap inkjet printer can be brought for about £40 squid and have quite a decent quality of print but cartrages range from £15 squid to up to £40 and if the whole family are using it on regualar basis they mightent last very long. There are also special paper to buy like glossy for photo's and options to put the printer into a different mode to specialize for photos so these can take up more ink then in draft mode, so its important to look at the whole perspective on what the printer is to be used for and cartridge price before getting one in....

THIS IS A GREAT PRINTER

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: slow to print

...Ok we bought our computer in 2000 and it was a package deal with printer, scanner etc and the printer was a Lexmark it was a fantastic printer. Then last year it started playing up and not printing correctly but as we never used the printer all that much at that time we really never bothered and it done the trick for my son printing out some of his pictures. One day we were in ASDA and we noticed they had the Lexmark Z23e on sale at £29.99, I had to look twice, as I didn't realise this item could be so cheap I think it was mainly to do with the printer we had was part of a package so I never really gave its price a second thought. The good thing about it is that it doesn't take up much space at all, it is 5.1" high, 8.1" deep and 17.5" wide, although you have to make sure there is plenty of room for the paper to come out at other...
