Thinking about ordering the TS on HSN (3/13). My old printer died recently ... I need a new one... quick (tax season approaches).

Your thoughts and comments on this, please. Thanks!

Edit: Is there a different, smaller one you would recommend ... I'd love to hear about it.

I will stick with Canon and I also will never buy a printer that doesn't have individual ink tanks. Nothing aganst HP, but I will stick with Canon that has the highest rate of dpi of all the printers on the market for home use. I also think that you can find a Canon with comfortable features for the same amount of money, just maybe not with the software that most purchasers probably won't use anyway.

I ordered it. I have an HP Officejet 6600 and like it very much.

However, I can't get the ink deal with that one, so I'm getting the TS. It's $99.95, free shipping and to get new cartridges for the 6600 is more than that! The TS also prints duplex.

Printers are getting to be like my tracfone - it's cheaper to replace and get the great minute deals.

We all have our own criteria for what's most important to us in a printer.

I agree with Seehorse. The ink cartridges for my HP printer is almost the exact cost of a new printer, so I have been going that route for the last few years. I have at least 3 printers in the basement that are gone simply because they ran out of ink!! Sad but true.

Thanks for the replies, John, Seehorse, and SuzieQ. My husband has a Canon i900D, but the cost of ink is outrageous. I just want a simple printer for documents like tax forms and such. My old printer was just fine for these type of tasks ... cartridges for it was also getting too high.

I think I'll just try the HP ...

SoX, I will say that the cost of that today's special ($99) is a very good price for what all that printer will do! Let us know how you like it when you get it set up and going!!

I have been on the phone with HP tech support trying to get my old printer to print. The tech was on my computer, viewed the printer, and told me to grab it because HP could not touch that price.

I use an HP Laserjet professional 1102w (older model) $99... and we are thrilled. We have two now... it does EVERYTHING we need it to do, including printing through wifi... enjoy yours!

Why not donate? I'm sure there is someone who could use an almost new printer. It's a lot better than having them gather dust in your basement.

I may be calling on you for help with that, SuzieQ ... I don't know jack about setting up a wireless printer ... or anything else, for that matter, lol.

Thanks all for your replies!

There is nothing to setting up a wireless printer.

SoX, I have used generic in my Canon printers and I have never had an issue with any of them. the last tanks I bought was for my 5 ink tank printer and I got 10 ink tanks for $34. now I've had my printer for going on three years and I just put the last of those ink tanks in to the printer so for 3 years I paid $69 for the printer, which came with 5 full Canon tanks, & I spent 34 dollars for the other 10 ink tanks.I see that total coming to $103 for using that printer for almost 3 years and I still have lots of ink left in those five ink tanks. So if I divide that by 3 that comes out to about $33 a year or somewhere in that neighborhood. I know some people don't want to use generic tanks, but I've never had a problem and if I did? From what I save on that type of ink I could buy two or three printers. So I don't concern myself with whether the ink will void the warranty or not. I see printers like I do Tracfones, which are pretty much throw away electronic devices.
