I currently have a canon, it’s been great for 15 yrs! I want to print from my iPad/phone. Having such good luck w Canon makes me want to buy a Canon but Costco has a HP inkjet scan fax  air for 139 reg price 199. How are HP printers? Officejet pro 9018.

I used to think HP printers were the best - years ago. My last two were nothing but trouble.  I will never buy another HP printer even if I have to pay more for another brand. Several colleagues have Brother so that’s what I have now. No problems so far.

Thanks, that’s what I’m thinking about HP

never will I buy another HP.   The ink is so expensive and I don't use my printer often.  So actually I never run out of ink,  my cartridges expire and will not print. I have to buy cartridges for every color.

My last black cartridge cost $34 and it is not a big one. 

My next printer is going to be a laser and probably Canon or brother.

Stick with Canon. I've had all the name brands, and a couple names I can't remember, they are no longer around. Have had nothing but Canon for many years, just changed models for different purposes.

Just bought a Pixma TS6320 for $70. Not top tier but 5 ink tanks and prints darn good pictures. Think it does all the other things, but I don't fax, and I like my old Canon Scanner.  It was a good buy.

I have had absolutely NO luck with HP printers ... stay away.👎

I have both.  Printers are a pain in the fanny.

So I’m going to tell you how dumb I am (come closer I’m whispering)...” I kept calling my son in law to come fix the printers..he’d come and say, “What’s the problem..they work!”

Then he’d leave and a few days later...I’d try to print and nothing..zip!  This went on for some time.

Well...I’m so proud of myself..I figured it out.

The printer was plugged into a place that worked the light switch.  When I turned off the light..the printer turned off too.

I’m so embarrassed...I’m just not going to mention this again..Duh!

The problem I have with HP is they send a message to some company when the ink runs out and they automatically send it.

I’m sure you could opt out of this but I’d rather get the ink when and where I want to get it.

This was probably 2 years ago, maybe it has changed now or...like I said you can, if you wanted to opt out of that.

@springers , I got rid of my inkjet and bought a Brother laser printer.  I will never go back to inkjet.  LM

@Annabellethecat66 Light Switch................haha....too funny.

I have similar with closet light and ceiling fan....except I unscrewed the closet  bulb....just have to stop and think which plug-in now works.....or doesn't.

We bought HP's for years for our personal printing. The printers weren't too expensive, but the replacement toner cartridges were pretty pricey. We've had a Brother for a couple of years now. It works well and the toner cartridges cost a fraction of the ones we had to buy for our HP's.
