    I am interested in buying a printer and wondered what kind of price range for one and which if any models would make it cost effective to print my college notes out at at home ? (instead of in UCD etc)

    Actually I am surprised if home printing is cheaper but I was talking to someone who claimed it can be. So anyone with suggestions or ideas about this out there ?

    If you don't need colour, a cheap black laser printer is your best option. Pricing starts at 50-60 Euro. If you print your "college notes" in draft quality you'll be saving even more. ;)

    I was using an old HP all in one from about 2002 to print. I bought a litre of black ink online for a few pound and refilled the cartridges myself. After years of service it died on me and I have yet to replace it.

    ah but does anyone know what price per page they can get ?

    someone I was speaking with was convinced they could print it out at home for cheaper than in UCD with a printer they said cost in the region of 100 euro

    I don't know about UCD but at komplett you'll get the Samsung ML-1675 for 50 yoyos. Printing with black-only laser printers usually costs ~1.5 cent per page, much less in draft quality.

    1.5 cents per page sounds good :)
