Hi Folks,
I have a Dell studio Core 2 quad computer that will not drive my HP 895Cse. I have this HP printer hooked up to an old Compaq (under my desk) that will drive it. I burn anything that needs to be printed from the Dell on CD-R and put it into the Compaq to print.
The 895 is a fantastic printer that takes HP color-23 and black-45 cartridges, and has spectacular print quality. The 23 and 45 have a lot of ink in them compared to the new models.
The problem is that I am an amateur photographer that prints a great many photos. I can get 120-8" x 10" prints out one HP 23/45 ink combo pack, which is approx 64 cents an 8 x 10 print.
The newer models are nowhere close to this as far as I know.
Can anyone recommend a printer that can give me the quality of the HP 895 that will give me a comparative number of prints per cartridge pack. without getting seriously ripped off
HP is discontinuing the 45 cartridge perpetuating the great ink ripoff. I know a lot of people that have bought 712's and 895's from Ebay in order to get value per print. HP is obviously aware that many people still use these great workhorses and are now making sure we can no longer get ink for them.
I do not want an all in one, just a printer
Please help
Responses greatly appreciated
