I am desperately in need of a laserjet printer. I'm tired of my inkjet, tired of refilling the ink and spending too much money on said ink.
Besides, a full manuscript uses up about an entire cartridge of that high-priced ink.
So I'm in the market for a laserjet printer and I need your advice!
What's the best brand?
Where's the best place to shop? Online or at an office supply store? Or Wal-Mart?
What is the most I should pay for a good, quality printer?
Thanks, all!

Living in the Land of "I Don't Wanna"
I'm currently at war with myself. The "you should be..." committee is fighting with the "I don't wanna" committ...
I have a HP laserjet 1012 and it is great.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my hubby, who used to purchase all things computerish and electronic for a living...HP is a good brand, he said don't pay more than $500 (!!!), (he just added it's probably closer to $350), and he said buy it online at bestbuy, amazon, or cdw.com.
ReplyDeleteAnd I had to cut him off because he wouldn't shut up with details. lol Good luck on your purchase!
Thanks, Toni and Amy, for the great advice! I think I found an HP that I like and that's in my price range. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy HP 5L has lasted for YEARS. The only pet peeve is the small paper tray but I can live with that. When this one goes, I'll definitely get another one, especially now that the prices have dropped so dramatically since I bought my first one. And I really like that the toner lasts me well over 6 months!
ReplyDeleteOk - I'm knocking madly on wood here, before saying anything. We've had the best luck with our Brother HL-1440.
ReplyDeleteI had a Lexmark years ago that I loved, but the one I had more recently wasn't so good - it made a real mess when printing back to back and would jam paper really easily.
Our HP 5L was ok - it was a workhorse, but like Kelly, we found the small tray restrictive and I didn't find it so good for labels (we use printers both at home and the office).
Six months on one cartridge?! Really? I have an ink jet too, and am thinking about a laser printer. Much to think about...
ReplyDeleteI paid less than 200 for my Dell and it's great. I think I got it on sell at the Dell site for 130?
ReplyDeleteHP, all the way. I get about a year's worth of use out of the toner (and I write 100k mss). I had an Epson, but it had lots of problems. Definitely HP!! I have an HP LaserJet 2100 right now.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great story. Waiting for more. » »
