Computer Printer Recommendation Required,please

[arjay]

I need a colour laser printer for occasional use, say, 2 copies once per week, that comes with fitted with all the necessary printing ink cartridges.
The price should be below £100.
Would you please tell me what printer you are using which would meet the above specification .Thank you

You're almost asking for the impossible. Decent colour laser printers cost hundreds of pounds. There are hardly any below £100 but the Samsung C410W Xpress is reasonably well-reviewed and currently heavily discounted to just £99 with both Amazon

Aagh!!!!
I forgot that AB's server cuts off posts as soon you insert an Amazon link!!!

Here's the rest of what should have been in my post above:

(With such a tight budget that's probably not just your best option but your only one!)

However I'm mystified as to why you would want a laser printer for such limited use anyway. Laser printers are best for printing text documents in large quantities but inkjets are far better at reproducing colour. Further, as long as you use good quality paper, text is nearly as crisp with a modern inkjet as it is with any laser printer.

My suggestion would be to go for a Canon Pixma MG6450 inkjet. For my reasoning, please read my posts here:

Why does it have to be a laser ? Much wider and better choice if you go for and ink jet !

Don't mention the word printer to me....I've spent a good couple of hours today trying to introduce my printer to the laptop.....it's just not having it....:(

Sorry for rant, but just needed to get that off me chest.....;)

Bathy....if you are placing the printer next to your PC and you are trying to get it to work by using wifi.....just use an ordinary cable........its much, much easier !

Mikey....thanks so much! Will have a go at that tomorrow :)

Years ago, I had to use a small printer, connected to my laptop, to print out legal documents, in my clients houses. It could work by cable or by a kind of optical wireless link. It took much less time to print using the cable !
