What printer to buy

    Hi I have a HP desktop 1560 printer but I find I am using quite a lot of ink. Any idea what would be a good printer to buy with regards to saving on ink. I use it just for home use so I'm not looking to buy anything to fancy but I'm printing off a lot of college notes lately and seem to be spending a lot on ink.

    Thanks

    If you answer a couple of questions I could help you better:

    Do you need it to scan / copy / fax? (haha fax...)

    Do you need colour printing?

    How much are you printing per month (roughly)?

    I'm really happy with this Brother printer.

    I couldn't tell you what the ink usage is like V your printer but previously I had a multi purpose printer/fax/scanner by HP. It constantly needed driver updates and the wireless printing almost never worked..

    Brother printer is small, seems economical, very simple to setup, fast, reliable, does A3 (if I need it) and is multi purpose too. Picked mine up in Tesco UK for about 90£

    Only thing to be aware of is that ink generally seems to be harder to find. Anytime I'm in Tesco Ire or Easons the ink they sell is mainly HP, Epson and the usually.

    If your not worried about colour, then I got a HP wireless B&W laser printer for around 70euro, its great for my daughter for her college work, toners are very cheap and you get around 1500+pages out of them.

    think model number is HP1102W....look it up on amazon.

    I will second that - using a Brother HL-L2340DW, its black and white too and really have no need for colour. I got it second hand but its a real workhorse.

    +1 for this printer, have it a while now and its very good (touch wood!)
