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: 5.8 Mediocre User rating: 56% good, 44% bad The good: High maximum resolution; prints from
multiple sources, including digital cameras and removable media;
supports roll paper; easy setup; comprehensive documentation. The bad: Disappointing all-around image quality,
including text output; slow as molasses in January; slightly high
ink consumption. The bottom line: This printer's attractive photos
and myriad printing options can't offset its weak overall output
quality and print speeds.
