    what printer?

    After my beloved samsung laser printer developed a fault and draws my paper in at an angle and jams, I need a new printer.


    I liked my laser because it was so cheap to refill, but if I plump for an inkjet whats my best bet for really cheap refills?

    Will it cost to too much to get it repaired, it might be something daft as piece of torn paper jammed on the rollers?
    Bored of the old one, new one coming soon

    first and obvious thing is the samsung out of warranty? and have you tried to repair it if it is out of warranty - you might aswell try, if its broke breaking it some more wont hurt

    second canon printers are cheapest to run and better than epsons in the budget range, depends what you want to spend?

    The Samsung Lasers are quite cheap now so why not see how much a new similar specced one is?

    It depneds on your requirements are.

    Epson printers are great (i have never had a problem) just bought a new c66, and will soon be using compatible inks (i have found print-rite to be the best cheapest from tonezoneuk) Or how about an R300 if you want CD printing and printing from memory cards? Both of the models have seperate colour ink cartridges.

    HP are too expensive (carts) lexmarks are just ther for a laugh cartridges normally cost just as much as the printer. Canons are ok but i still prefer epsons.

    if you buy the really cheap canons they dont work out any cheaper so check which
    carts they take and the print economy. PC format always do good printer group tests
    maybe they have them printed on their site.

    Also try giving your printer a clean with a cloth it could be something as simple
    as the wheels that draw the paper in being a bit dusty. I had a printer (although ink jet) do the same and cleaning the wheels sorted it.
