Hi
My Canon S630 has died. I (and Lilla from this forum) have tried it all, I have given up after a 10 day battle. I have stuff I need to print so it's time to move on.
Ok here is the deal, my PC a Dell P4 1.8 ghz will be retired at Christmas and used as a back up PC. Since I don't want to spend a lot of dough on it, I was just looking at an affordable all in one printer.
We don't print anything important, top quality not required, but we use color quiet a bit especially my daughter.
Lexmark has a x 1270 for around $50, and it is on sale right now at best buy and Target for $40. My wife works at target and she gets 20% off so that would make it $32, not bad. I know I read the reviews, not a fantastic machine but it should be enough for my current needs.
Now I was using generic cartridges from a company called "omni" which I have purchased from for 4 years now. Cheap prices, fast shipping, free shipping, great customer service. My Canon would take 4 cartridges and each cost me $1.44 (Black) and $1.95(colors) shipped.
Now looking at the Lexmark it seems to have 2 cartridges only and the generic seem to be a lot more than my old Canon generic (Not sure really).
My questions are:
Can you recommend an affordable all in one (print/scan/copies) where I will be able to get cheap generic cartridges?
Would the Lexmark x1270 be affordable to refill with generics?
(I don't want to refill myself, seems like a mess to do.)
Thanks a lot
Patrick
