I currently have a Canon pixma IP6000d, its been a great printer. Last night in the middle of printing a few pages i got the "No print head installed" error. I did the usual, removed ink and head, cleaned with alcohol and let dry, checked the contacts etc, unplugged from power and pc to reset and nothing worked, even reinstalled drivers etc... I have no idea why it would just go out like that, but I am now faced with replacing it, quickly.
My needs are for home and light in home office use... a good basic printer for black and white printing on plain paper, decent color/photo printing, but nothing too fantastic. I do not print my own photos and chances are if the color ink runs out I will not replace it unless i need it again. I would like to go to an all in one with a scanner/copy feature. Wireless with option to print from non apple phone. INK is a big issue If I cant refill it, I want to figure out the most cost effective brand for replacement cartridges. I also need one that does not require ALL the ink tanks to be full just to print a black and white page of text.
I was pondering over 3 I found on amazon: Epson WorkForce WF-2520, Epson Expression Home XP-400, Brother Printer MFCJ425W
Please steer me clear of a train wreck, or guide me into the right direction. There are so many options it is mind boggling.
Thank you!
