Printers

I really need to buy a printer. Quite urgently, actually. Please convey your printer-related advice to me via the poll below:

[Poll #757065]

I am also interested in views on the relative merits of straightforward inkjets, straightforward laser printers and 'all-in-ones' which copy and scan as well as printing. Do comment if you have thoughts on any of them!

[livejournal.com profile] crazyscot has an all-in-one scanner/copier/printer - it's a HP PSC 1400 series one, colour or b/w, and we have no problem with it. It takes a separate black cartridge to the all-in-one colour cartridge, which is a massive advantage as it's always the black ink that runs out first!

HPs seem to be getting a pretty big vote of confidence so far. I may well go that way.

OK, my info is a few years old (like three) but when I was an IT desk guy, the HP printers were the only ones I didn't want to chuck out of the window...

Also we had Kyocera printers, that, while good, were hugely expensive as a whole and probably beyond the bounds of what you're looking for.
