Re: [LUG] New printer

[Steven CÃtà <steven.cote@xxxxxxxxx>]

I guess it depends on how much printing you do, but to be honest, my old laser ran out of toner about 3 years ago and my replacement was to just pop into Staples every time I actually need to print something.

Obviously that solution isn't for everyone, but now that no one in the house is in school any more, I find that more than adequate for all my printing needs and might be worth considering.

Further to previous replies. I have decided that I will look for a cheap printer, readily available, which I hope will keep me going while I decide finally what to do.

Naturally this has all happened at the worst possible time. My daughter is getting married in three weeks and I have promised to print out the order of service sheets. The email with the relevant attachment arrived this morning. My printer died this morning. Typical.

Anyway, I am looking at an HP 3055a which is in stock at the nearest Argos in Launceston. I could pop over and get one this afternoon. Bad apple will be pleased since he advised (read 'ordered') me to go for HP.

The price is Â45 so not a huge outlay. I just hope it will work without any problems. I have checked and compatible cartridges are available. If anyone has any comments or advice about this please let me know, even if it is to say 'don't'.

Thanks

Neil
