    I just want to see how many of you are using what type of printer. I myself have just moved to Laser mostly. It's only for Black and white but I absolutely love it, my old Epson Stylus Photo 820 was cheap, extremely noisy, gobbled ink, gave poor prints, and wasn't' even very fast on top of all that. So my HP laserJet 1022 is a major improvement and spits out papers so fast I barely have enough time to staple them together before they pile up again. Best of all is the fact that I only need to buy more ink maybe once a year.
    Any way what are the rest of you using. Post your model and comments if you like too:)

    *doesn't see one for no printer*

    I used to have some epson stylus on as shared printer, but after it being moved and I barely used it there hasn't been any effort to re-share it.

    Ooh, my bad, sorry man. And for the record Epson has plenty of good products, my old inkjet just happened to be a 'give-away' type printer is all.

    I have a cheapo Epson Stylus Colour 480. Slow, extremely noisy and sometimes really bad print quality. Very cheap ink. Yep she's a beauty alright...

    Mine is awkward because every now and again the rollers get black ink on them, so i use cotton buds to rub it off when they're moving while at the same time trying to stop by hand being hit by the print head.

    HP Deskjet 840C
    An amazing printer. Simple and excellent results.
    However uses loads of ink and original cartridges cost quite a bit. Around £25.

    If anyone is reading this thread - do not use compatables! NO! DON'T!

    I bought some. All fuzzy and look like :swear:

    If you want your 840C to do the job properly, treat her with respect :p

    By the way can I plug this little star here - HP1022

    It is an amazing mono laserjet. it is quick, quiet, small and boy is it light! We use these at work and they are brilliant!

    Wow, nice Syngod and sabashuali, I wish I had a color laser but they're pretty pricey, about $350 for a low-end model that will only do 6ppm color but it would still be worth over the ink you'd be saving.
    Sorry I just noticed the allow users to check multiple items after the page had started loading, my bad.

    Ink is a huge savings. Freaks you out at first paying $500 for the 3 colors and the black but when your able to get a 5000 page yield out of them it;'s quite a bit better paying $100 for a color vs $50 for an inkjet that does at most 500 pages.
