Really! gonna buy a printer, huh?

Howard Traxler
 

Hi All,

Well, I'm gonna go ahead and byte the bullet.  I've been told. Wondering again, if someone will recommend an all-in-one printer.  I have had and thrown out four HP ink-jet printers and would really like to buy one that will last awhile.  But, it'll probably be another HP.  I'd like a "blind-friendly" one that has real buttons and not a touch screen.  I'll probably order it from Amazon tomorrow.  And then I'm gonna ask, anyone who will read my messages, how to extend its life.

Thank you again to anybody with suggestions.

Hi Howard,

First thing, do not by another inkjet printer. If you have money to throw away, than an inkjet may be right for you.
Spend the extra hundred bucks and get a laser. You won't have to throw it away, Yes, the toner cartridge will cost more but the price per page will be way less than an inkjet.
Again, it will be cheaper if black and white will do instead of color.
Why does it have to be h p?
A lot of people use Brother or Canon and are happy with the product.

Hi Howard,

I have an ink jet printer, mostly used for correspondence, black text. Because I rarely print colors, I have my calendar set to remind me monthly to print out a full color picture. This, IMHO, keeps the color nozzles from clogging because of lack of use. Again, this is my opinion. On my Brother all in one the nozzles got clogged. Although it can be done, manually flushing and cleaning those things is very difficult. Thus my practice to clean them monthly.

If you do get an ink jet printer, I can offer this piece of advice:

Thank you Monte.  That was the advice I was looking for a few months ago.

No.  It doesn't have to be an HP; but it's the name I've heard the most about and had the most experience with.  So, I'll think again about a laser; but I still have the same questions:  Is there one that has real buttons and no touch screen,i.e. blind friendly?  I do want color.

Obviously, I didn't order it today because I still don't know what I want.  But the wife said to buy one now.  So I'd better hurry up. I'll go through today's mail and see if I have any more ideas.

Thanks.

Howard

Hi Howard,

Holly just sent a message on this subject with a link and or phone number for something called accessible products; that may give you more real names and model numbers.

Cheers,

Monte
