For my personal experience, I have yet to have a HP printer not work. |

You can get the ink levels and such too. It has a GUI thingy for that |
| 17 |
but I think it has a command line tool as well, in case it is hooked to |
| 18 |
a server or something with no GUI. |

The way I buy a printer, I find the cartridges first. Then I find a |
| 21 |
printer that uses the cartridge. My current printer uses the 74XL and |
| 22 |
75XL cartridge. Those are the high capacity ones. They print about 3 |
| 23 |
times the pages. I buy the generic ones and they are both cheaper and I |
| 24 |
think they have more ink. They certainly last longer than the HP ones. |
| 25 |
I did buy one set of HP XL ones since they were on sale locally. |

If you can afford a laser printer up front, that is cheaper in the long |
| 28 |
run, as others have already posted. Just keep the printer in a |
| 29 |
relatively dry location. Read that as low humidity. If you have |
| 30 |
humidity problems, turn it on and let it warm up a few times a week. I |
| 31 |
did that at my friends business when the printers were in the basement. |
| 32 |
Real humid in there. If left long enough, the print gets pretty bad. |

Hope that helps. Lots of option. |
