Help! I am currently bogged down in researching what printer to buy.
I have been reading many reviews here trying to make up my mind, but I still feel lost.
I am a homeschooling mom - so I need a printer that will do some moderate printing. I DO want a color printer. I want to print occasional color off the internet, and also I'd like to be able to print occasional photos. (Like printing off snapshots for the grandparents a couple times a year or so) I don't mind refilling - actually, I would probably prefer to do that - I'm looking for very cost-effective printing. I don't mind an older model or used printer, as long as it does the job!
I have owned a Lexmark printer (Never again!!), and an HP, which I loved, but unfortunately it's model # escapes me. Currently I have an HP Deskjet D1341. It has teeny-tiny cartridges. When I refilled them recently, it ran out of black within a week or two, and the color refilling didn't work for me. I do not like this printer at all.
I also have an HP copy machine - so I am used to HP machines, and actually thought I'd prefer one. But it seems that perhaps their quality has gone downhill since I've last purchased one?
Bottom line - I want a reliable machine, that's not too expensive to use.
