My mission here is not to do a run down of everything available but to offer what I consider the best of the best for differing needs.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us have experienced printer problems. It seems like mine is always out of ink. My old HP 750xi prints 15 pages when all I wanted was the one page showing on my screen.  Another one of it&#8217;s favorite tricks is to print in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Best\u00e2\u20ac\u009d mode.  This means it takes 4 \u00c2\u00bd minutes to print one page and uses about 3lbs of ink per inch.  I usually get about 4 pages per cartridge this way.  No matter how many times I change it to Draft Mode (less ink used), it changes itself back. If I add up the cost of Ink, paper, electricity to print and shred excess pages, and the cost of a single gallon of gas to replace the cartridges every other week it comes to $11.76 per page.  Ha-ha, yeah I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m exaggerating, but not by much.  Every time my printer works I feel like I won the lottery.<\/p>\n<p>I always laughed when I heard someone say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153what the heck, I could buy a whole new printer for what it costs to buy ink cartridges&#8221;, but guess what?  They are right.  On a recent trip to Remaining Nameless, I picked out what seemed to be a reasonably priced All-In-One printer. I immediately asked the sales person how much the refills were. His reply was \u00e2\u20ac\u009dthey are all about the same\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.    I persisted until he pointed me to the bottom shelf where I choose the four cartridges needed.  Red, blue, yellow, black X $64.99 = $259.96 x 1.06 tax = $275.55.  The printer was selling for $249.99 with cartridges included.  Hummm, something wrong here!  Besides, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all the same\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exactly three times the cost of my current ink cartridges from HP which are considered relatively high priced.<\/p>\n<p>Inkjets, All-in-one, Laser, the choices are staggering.  A quick search of the internet will bag you dozens of Printer Show Downs  and comparisons This is great but when I need a printer I need it now and not after waiting several days for an online order.  When it breaks  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go to the store and buy a new printer. Within 5 miles of my house are BestBuy, Circuit City, OfficeMax, Office Depot,  Wal-Mart, Costco and a boat load of others too numerous to mention. My recommendations today are made up of what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s available five miles from my home and not just online or by special order.<\/p>\n<p>The cost per page figure includes the cost of paper. Paper prices are based on a .01 per sheet price which can be found just about anywhere and of course could be higher. Ink costs are averaged between color and black only, for a full page. Because this is a cost per actual page printed the figure may appear higher than other reviews showing the cost of ink per page.<\/p>\n<p>The prices shown are a range of what I found online and on the shelf.  They are changing daily so check all of your options as there are some major discounts available. Each make and model mentioned is linked to the manufacturers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 website.  They provide a complete feature list and include specifications.  All you need to do is decide what your needs are.<\/p>\n<p>I know you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re ready so here you go.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color:#dddddd;\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/h10010.www1.hp.com\/wwpc\/us\/en\/sm\/WF05a\/18972-18972-236251-15100-64340-3396078.html?jumpid=oc_R1002_USENC-001_HP%20Photosmart%20D5460%20Printer&#038;lang=en&#038;cc=us\">Simple Inkjet Color Printer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HP Photosmart D5460\/ $79.99 to $89.99<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hp_d5460.jpg\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hp_d5460.jpg\" alt=\"hp_d5460\" width=\"125\" height=\"94\" class=\"attachment wp-att-2908 alignleft\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFull Color graphics and photo<br \/>\nInput Tray 125 sheets<br \/>\nOutput tray no info.<br \/>\nSpeed Upt to 11 ppm<br \/>\nRefill Cartridges $9.99 x 5 or $50.00<br \/>\nCost per Copy (ink and paper) .16<\/p>\n<p>This is by no means the least expensive printer available but it is a good choice for someone having minimal printing needs.  The 5 ink cartridges are low cost at $9.99 to $10.99 each and also designed for low consumption at an average of 300 pages per cartridge.  In spite of the low cost of operation this printer does surprisingly well with print and graphics quality.  This is mostly due to HP&#8217;s inclusion of an additional pigment based ink for printing text that supplements the usual dye based inks.   If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for a low initial cost with very economical inks this is your baby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/consumer\/detail\/detail.do?group=printersmultifunction&#038;type=printersmultifunction&#038;subtype=monochromelaserprinters&#038;model_cd=ML-2510\/XAA\">Best Deal Laser Printer <\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nSamsung ML 2510 Laser Printer\/ $89.00 to $139.00<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/7941187fp.gif\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/7941187fp.gif\" alt=\"7941187fp\" width=\"70\" height=\"54\" class=\"attachment wp-att-2930 alignleft\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Monochrome<br \/>\nInput Tray 250 Sheet<br \/> <br \/>\nOutput 100 sheet<br \/> <br \/>\nSpeed Up to 24 ppm<br \/>\nRefill Cartridge $27.98 to $49.99<br \/> <br \/>\nPages per cartridge 3000 @ 5% coverageMBR><br \/>\nCost per Copy (ink and paper) .02<\/p>\n<p>This is a down and dirty, no nonsense, get the job done laser.

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for a low cost, low maintenance laser printer, this is it.   The lowest price I found was from an online retailer and included shipping, but I also found this locally on the shelf for $129.99.   If you are looking for additional features and color capability there are many to choose from with prices that range from $300.00 to $600.00.

Well that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not really true because the original box comes with reduced capacity cartridges.  The cartridges that come with the original purchase won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give you anywhere near as many copies as I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m quoting for the refills.  This is also not for the average home user but for an office situation that will give it a daily workout.
