About once every three weeks I need to print something. Mostly just
text, but sometimes a .pdf or .html file. But never any pictures.
Every Sunday in the paper there are fliers from CompUSA, BestBuy and
the various office supplies vendors, and it seems that in each of
these there's one cheap printer offered for about $40-50 after
rebates. Here are the ones from this week and last week:
HP DeskJet 3820 $50
HP DeskJet 3520V $40
Lexmark Z605 $50
Canon i250 $50
Epson C62 $50
Would any of these be good enough for my light-duty needs? As I
said, I won't be doing photos, and it doesn't have to be fast. The
only thing I would absolutely have to have is that the ink won't dry
up when the printer isn't used for extended periods - there will be
many such periods. And I guess I would like to be able to refill
black separately.
I've also begun to see multi-function machines for about $100. Are
any of these any good?
