I wouldn't have another printer based on HP technology simply because of the price of their carts.
That's what i'm tryin to explain to my dad.Quote:

Look around rossco. If you don't want too high end of a printer, they can be had for less than $80. Maybe then your dad would go for it.
I took your advice on that site, I even ended up buying a printer from them.Quote:

Sounds sweet!
Nice looking printer. Specs & rating I mean. Keep us posted how you like it. Congrats.
I had a cheap lexmark and didnt use it for about a month and the ink dried up for like the third time so I got pissed off and threw it in the garbage where it belongs. Just picked up the Epson Stylus CX4200 all in one yesterday and so far this thing is great :D It was $129.99 and theres a $30 mail in rebate so $99.99 final price which is pretty good imo.
Yeah, I did the same with my Lexmark X75 All in One... Decided that the scanner was not worth keeping the damn thing for, so I pitched down the driveway... However, cleaning up all the little plastic pieces made me regret my tossing it...Quote:

I'll definately not buy another Lexmark printer. Epson has won my heart. :wub:
