Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Wireless Printer

[emmie]

my HP is useless and died, it won't print at all.
I have a dell inspiron laptop, not that matters but i don't
want another useless HP printer which is what seems to be on offer
it has to be wireless so i can finally print out documents
etc and copy of course, it doesn't have to be a scanner
but if its three in one ok.
it has to be black in colour.

look at Canon, very good

[emmie]

ok, do they do both colour and black ink, and do you have to buy cannon inks?

[emmie]

could you recommend any from amazon? as that is likely where i will buy one.

HP 2540, superb machine. Ink cartridges a lot cheaper than cannon.

[emmie]

thanks sparkly but don't want another HP, the one i had isn't that old, but its stopped printing, and there is plenty of ink in it.

I meant this model.

I have used HP printers for 20 years without a single problem.

Canon MG7550. One refurbished on ebay for about £100...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Canon-MG7550-All-in-One-Inkjet-Printer/218254351
Wifi dead easy, 6 inks - I’ve used compatibles for many years, no problems. Light, not too hefty, 2 paper trays (at the front! - A4 and 5x7 photo paper.)

Had Canons for nigh on 20 years. Top machines.

£100 second hand, ridiculous.

I loathe HP, have never had one without problems. I wouldn't touch a refurb with someone else's bargepole. You don't have to use Canon inks although I do because I don't do much printing. As with all printer brands, using non brand inks will invalidate you guarantee, so maybe better to stick to branded ones till the guarantee expires.

i found a wireless canon all in one printer for 65 quid. is that a good deal, with postage works out about 75 quid new.
what about the ink? are they difficult to get hold of.

E£pson 215 SX is one to keep away from
Terribly expensive inks
The cartridges have a microprocessor in them and many of the users think that the firm sends out messages - fail now whatever!

I took on two from a neighbour - who was dead - I can see now why he died

[woofgang]

which model emmie?

[TonyV]

My Epsom 445 works ok for me

[emmie]

Canon PIXMA TS5150 3-in-1 Printer - Black
does that mean the casing is black or that it's multi coloured, not sure.

[emmie]

it has to have black and colour printing, be wireless,
this looks ok. If i can find the same one on amazon.
but unsure about the cartridges.

[woofgang]

hmmmm.....the low scores on this one are for problems setting it up with wifi.....I'd look for one that has better set up scores

[emmie]

that's a pity as almost bought it off Amazon.

What have you got against
SparklyKid's £39 Amazon one?

Seems a snip to me.

[SparklyKid]

It is an absolute belter, no probs at all.
