Printer recommendation

[TwigtheWonderkid]

I have an HP Photosmart B110 printer. The issue is I rarely use it, maybe once a month, and the cartridges seem to dry out thru lack of use. It's ridiculous, I'm spending a fortune printing very little.

Can anyone recommend a cheap (£50 ish) reliable printer where the ink will actually give me the promised number of copies, and not expire after a certain period of time.

Thanks nyt. I'm not fussed about printing photos, so maybe a £100 inkjet is the way to go.

Well I ended up with a Dell C1675. They cost around £150 and come with third full cartridges to get you going. The refills are £20 a pop and it takes 4 (black, red, blue, yellow) so another £80 to be forked out.

IJT had an offer, buy 3 sets of cartridges (that's 12 thingies) for £240 and they give you the printer free! So I did that. Youngest son has set it all up and connected it to the Ethernet so we can now print to it from any device around the house.

Hopefully with a full set of cartridges installed and 2 spare sets, I won't have to buy anymore before I die. (I'm 53). We don't do much printing at all (youngest son has some stuff as he's doing A levels, and then it's the odd thing here and there).

So a result.

Do you mean a C1765?

If so, that's not a bad deal.

Yes, that's the fellow.
