Printer

[stealthee]

Ok, I am in search of a new printer. My old printer still works, but it is a pain in my ass and I am about to go all Office Space on it.

The main requirements I would like is it to be a 3 in 1 (print, copy, scan). If it's 4 in 1 (also faxes) that would be acceptable but the feature is not really needed. The second requirement is NO INK JET. I absolutely hate ink jet. The ink is ungodly expensive for the amount of pages you get. I want it to be laser with a toner cartridge.

Price range would ideally be around $100, but I would be willing to go to $150.

So I am not looking for anything super special. I really need to get one so I can start printing resumes for my job search. I will continue some searches of my own, but am looking for feedback and/or recommendations.

I found this one so far

I love my brother laser printer. have it hooked up to the network via wireless (very easy setup) so no extra cables and I can print from anywhere in the house. the initial toner cartridge that came with it lasted several reams of paper before needing to replace it.

+1 on the brother. I've had a few of them over the years and I have several clients that use them. They hold up well and you cant beat the price.

It looks like that's the way I am leaning. I found the one I linked for $120 on Amazon.

I just need to decide if I will go with it, or go with the next model up and spend $150.

The next model up basically adds fax options and is a little prettier. After doing some measuring though I don't think I will go with it. Only other decision is if I should spend the $10 I am saving by buying it on Amazon to put a protection plan on it,.

Another vote for Brother. I've been using them, commercially, for nearly 20 years and I have never had a single problem. You don't need fax; waste of money. No one faxes shit anymore.

I buy my drums and toners from QuikShipToner.com Outstanding service and prices.

You probably math on this, too, huh?

Except I use stones.

Yeah not much is faxed at all anymore, and even if something has to be faxed I can just take it to Staples or the pharmacy to fax it. Hell there are probably even apps I could use to send a "fax"

I put the 2520 in my cart. I just need to pull the trigger to make the purchase. If I was working I would have done it already but I am trying to be very smart with how I spend my money right now. I know I definitely need the printer, but it's still hard to convince myself to spend the money.

With scanners and e-mail there just is no reason to fax anything. I run my own business and disconnected my fax line a few years ago, and that was still after only receiving maybe 5-10 faxes in the 2 years prior. It's just outdated tech at this point.

I understand about money. Just have to look at it for the long run. It will last you many years, making the annual cost of ownership much of nothing.
