Do you own a printer?

What kind do you have and do you like it? Or would you recommend another.

I have owned several over the years. I would never, ever own another Lexmark. The few I have had were junk and didn't last or print correctly.

I now buy HP printers...inexpensive and work 99% of the time with no trouble.

We have had an Epson for probably 7 years. No problems. Easy to hook up which for me is a big deal. The ink cartridges are rather expensive, but all in all I am satisfied.

I went with a cheapish ($49) Samsung laser printer four(?) years ago and I love it. Inkjets were driving me broke with cartridge costs, but the laser toner is cheap and lasts forever.

HP Photosmart 6520.

Accordning to my DD, easy to set up. With me printing photos at times, it does use a lot of ink, which you have to purchase from HP. If I stop printing color stuff, it works well.

I have an Epson & have had it for many years. It still works like a champ.

Brother laser printer. I think it was around $80. Got me through thousands of pages in nursing school.

I have a Canon MX922 All-In-One printer and highly recommend it.

I own the Epson model EP-3750. It uses ink tanks filled from bottles instead of prefilled cartridges. Those cartridges kept me broke, even when I purchased them from discount online suppliers. The bottles of ink aren't cheap either, but I don't go through anywhere near as much ink as I used to. The Epson gives a good quality print and no problems so far. I bought it on sale at Costco.

HP all in one (printer, copier, scanner, fax) for us. It's wireless and I've had it for several years. No complaints from me.

I have a super old HP laser printer. It is not wireless, just black & white. I don't print much so it is good enough for me.

I have a Brother HL-L2380DW. It was under $100 and it's a laser because I didn't want to have to continuously shell out more $$ for ink cartridges and I have no need for color. It's several years old. It also scans and copies and it's wifi.

We get HPs. Used that brand at work, very reliable. Our old home printer had for many years. I really liked it. Replaced it earlier this year with an HP Envy Photo 7855, not expensive. I don't like it as much as the old one, probably because I am not familiar it.

We tried to print out our Christmas card labels yesterday. They came out blurry (not smeared) Never had that issue with our old HP. Pretty sure it is not the labels, rather the fancy, dancy adjustments required with the new printer.

Still would get HP. Just mentioned this issue because sometimes there may be learning period depending upon the model purchased.

I have an old laser printer, an inkjet three-in-one. I've been wanting a new color printer and have just ordered the Epson EcoTank, which uses small tanks for the ink, rather than the cartridges. I'm anxious to receive it. I'm tired of dealing with the cartridge systems, which require expensive repacement cartridges. Hope this works out as good as the reviews seem to indicate.

We've always bought HP. Currently have an HP Officejet Pro 8600, which is probably 5 or more years old. It's an all in one - copier, printer, fax, etc. Contrary to what someone said upthread, you don't have to buy the printer cartridges from HP. We get ours at Office Depot. Also, it will work with generic cartridges; we've just always stuck with HP cartridges.

I own an HP all in one, that's the only brand & type of printer I've ever purchased (the all in one) I've never had problems with them, I've used each one I've had for several years, I use them until they "die."

@qualitygal I have an HP laserjet Printer given to me about 8 years ago. All it does is print....nothing else.

Just use Black and white ink....I buy the replacement ink cartridges online for about $20 each They are knock off cartridges, but work great and save me about $60 over buying the HP brand ink cartridges that usually cost $80 plus.

I own an HP 8610. I do a lot of printing, and this serves me well. I LOVE IT.
