For a $4 monthly subscription you can research all printers. (Don't forget to cancel the subscription at the end of a month.) Meanwhile you can research anything and everything. That's what I do when we're planning a hefty purchase. <BR/><BR/>Isn't it funny how we live in a throwaway society now. Cheaper and more sensible to buy new than fix. I doubt repair shops even exist anymore.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728394027261108470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249848211445585254.post-62844225561217812492007-03-20T10:56:00.000-06:002007-03-20T10:56:00.000-06:00I have HP printers and love them.

The one I have now makes copies but will not print from the computer. I am in the same printer HE** that you are. I need a new printer before I can start my April 12 X 12. I am sure next week I will purchase a new Epson.His Office, My Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024411359797738483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249848211445585254.post-13386369160450129062007-03-20T09:17:00.000-06:002007-03-20T09:17:00.000-06:00I've had bad luck with ink jet printers too!

I was able to collect enough of them and put them back so that we were able to print a few pages more, but now we have a b&w laser printer--great for printing on paper--doesn't run when wet, but of course you can't make all those wonderful fabric things.laura west konghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992230101346783651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249848211445585254.post-23355687319515966882007-03-20T08:02:00.000-06:002007-03-20T08:02:00.000-06:00I have a HP psc 2210 and it is working just fine--...I have a HP psc 2210 and it is working just fine--but, we don't use it all that much.

I've had 3 HP printers and all have worked fantastic. I've had a 7310 at work that I've been using over 2 years, an AIO (don't remember the model) that I used at home for at least 3 years and recently gave to my Mom. I bought a 7410 for home use last fall and it's doing well so far. I don't know how many pages you need printed but I'd be happy to do some for you this weekend if you want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
