The great printer cartridge rip off

[Dedworth]

well seeing many hp inkjet\laser printers are still working after 5 or 10yrs probably shows that is not true,

My HP 4 in 1 is a heap of crap heading for the skip, 2 years old and one warranty replacement. Scanning software died a death on Windows 7 due to their updates and I've lost track of the amount of time I spent on the phone to them. I'll never buy HP again

Well thats good info, I gave up on inkjets years ago and rather spend the money on coloured lasers, I am on my second OKI now and never regretted buying them.
The inkjets were expensive to run and had a tendency to clog very easy.
I was thinking of changing printers to an all in one as my Epson perfection 1250 scanner a bit long in the tooth and HP was on the list, will have a rethink on that.

a good cheap to use hp color laser would be something like the hp 4650dn excellent print, large capacity cartridges, but a bit bulky and old but still pretty good. many schools are using them now because the carts are fairly cheap for the toner capacity.

theres one on ebay going for £55 with 23hrs to go , 0 bids

My Oki C5650 has been excellent for printing but toner replacement is the killer, also takes up a lot of room.
Have you any suggestions for a all in one printer?

The 4 in 1 I've just bought (still in box at the moment) is a Canon MX435 £49.99

I've also signed up to their 3 year replacement deal for £12 so if it makes it to 35 months I cause some accidental damage and they give me a new one.

JetTec have just started doing reman cartridges for it and it looks like you can syringe them
