My old HP C7280 has finally bit the dust. Of course it was print, scan, cop, fax and I need and use them all. I could live without fax.
Whats the best options out there? All In One, separate scanner and printer? What?
Also need to be less cost on new ink as I do have to print a lot.
Thanks
 
I looked at brother, hp, and one other brand, and the cost for ink is much cheaper with the hp.

We got the office jet 7612 bc it does it all and it can do wide format and front and back printing.

It works well.
 
Take it out to the driveway. Run over it a couple of times with the Jeepster. Then relax and go shopping. If in doubt do what I do... I ask my 15 year old nephew. He's a tech genius.

We have an HP8600 at home. Noisy and seems slow at times but has been reliable.
 
they are all junk.

judge them by their warranty. when i was in the printer repair business a few years back, brother had the best year warranty. 1 year parts and labor.
 
i quit buying inkjet printers, 3 in 7years where the print head had ink dried up, not salvageable. Last one was EPSON, the scanner part still works so its still online, ended up with a BROTHER laser jet, had it for a year now, works every time, no streaks. yeah, so its only black and white, my kid has markers, we can deal with it.

standard yield toner cartridge is $30 on Amazon (1200pages) you'll never get that out of ink jet at that cost
 
I've been using a HP Officejet Pro 8500A, for several years. Never used the fax mode, no landline. This is the only printer I've had, & was talked into it by the fact it holds More ink, which is suppose to work out cheaper. I don't know. No Real problems to speak of. It's just used for personal printing, not office work.
 
Just had the same issue, I bought an HP based on that's what my last one was and name recognition. HUUUUUUGE mistake. Evidently their laserjets are prone to firmware malfunctions. If you don't immediately update the firmware and it goes to sleep, it will not "initialize" and you're basically left with a turd. Called their CS and they asked me to unplug it and plug it back in..... really? That's all you got? Then they wanted to send me a "refurbished" one... nope. Took it back and bought a Samsung AIO

I've had the Samsung AIO for about 2 weeks now. It s got a lot of nice features and prints really fast. I also like the auto feed for scanning and copying. I scan a lot of documents and contracts most are 10-50 pages. Wireless connection is nice, and easy to setup. Hopefully it will keep working as well!

I've got a cheap brother b&w laser. I've ran probably 15 reams thru it. I'm only on my first replacement toner cartridge. Way cheaper than inkjet per page and no dried out cartridges. I love the 23 ppm too. No experience with their color lasers. Mine is the hl-2240, $150 like three years ago. Only complaint is the lights dim for a moment when it starts heating up. I am looking for a decent sheet fed scanner though.
 
Definitely get a black and white laser. The inkjets are the harbor freight of printers. Color lasers are higher maintenance. I have an HP M127fw that has done very well for me. I can print from my phone which is cool too.
 
Different takeep here.
I've got an HP 8620. Cost 149.

It's about a year old. I expect it to make it another year then I'll throw it away and replace.

Prior to this I went the Samsung B&w laser route. Never ever again on a Samsung printer.

It was wireless only and the wireless port /software had all kinds of issues. I assumed it was my computer illiteracy and sold it (on here) to someone who works in IT. I bought it back when it wouldn't work for him either. 300 went in the dumpster after 4 months and 2 owners. Samsung tech support didn't offer wireless setup help even though it was wireless only and office Depot doesn't take back opened printers even 3 days after sale.
