I used to own a Photosmart and it worked fine but I found that
despite never printing in colour I would still have to replace
colour cartridges all the time. Clearly a scam IMHO, which is why I
decided to switch.
Yes. Printers. Cleverly designed to waste resources. I find the
ML-1510 is great for prinitng back & white. The HP printer does waste
cartridges but I mostly use it for scanning and copying and printing
photographs. Plenty of recycled cartridges on eBay at low cost. I
have a local printer recycling shop who take the old cartridges.
The Samsung colour laser printers are also excellent. Plenty of those
on eBay. Also many recycled laser cartridges.
