Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a
printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its
ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of
ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month)
times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge).
Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular
cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per
month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The
monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
200 pages
Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the
original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of
remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

CNET.com Editors' rating:7.2 Very good Average user rating: 8.0 Excellent The good: Affordable ink; high-quality prints, scans,
and copies; prints and copies without a computer; Windows and Mac
compatible. The bad: Faulty scanner lid; hard-to-read control
panel; tortoise-speed prints, scans, and copies; software-only faxing;
costly live tech support. What's it for: Scanning photos; printing graphics;
network sharing; standalone copying. Who's it for: Home users; small businesses; creative
students; amateur photo retouchers; freelance workers; and dorm
dwellers. Business use: Small offices that print custom fliers
will enjoy the fine color quality, as well as the convenient, standalone
photo printing and copying. Essential extras: Buy your own USB cable, plus an
adapter for some memory cards. The bottom line: Quality printouts and useful
standalone functions trump the flawed design and slow speed of this
affordable multifunction, which is a good deal for a home or a modest
office.
