HP Officejet 7612 at ebuyer, £88.98 with £35 cashback and a free 3 year warranty, for £53.98 all in.
This is an A3+ printer, can print beyond (slightly) A3 size
Scanner (up to A3!) on top, and wifi/hard wired network printing.
ADF - auto document feeder, scan a stack of stuff at once
Duplexer - prints on both sides of the page automatically.
Runs on very cheap ink too, 932XL / 933XL , ~1000 pages black and ~800 colour, compatibles are under £7 for a set of all 4 carts - this makes it a lot cheaper than an awful lot of lasers to run :smiley:
No personal experience of this one, though one's in the post - at yesterdays price, which was even cheaper! Gone up from ~£52 to £66 overnight, but still worth posting imo, a cracking deal - and it might fluctuate down again by the time you read this!
I have got experience of a similar printer in an HP A4 MFP, same carts, and I've no complaints. New wave of decent office inkjets do compare pretty well to small lasers, with their big size low price carts and fast print speeds.
Also is a fax!

The perfect storm, a printer company you cannot trust and a retailer you cannot trust.
Who says the free market works when companies like these survive and grow??
Far better with a laser. I've had mine for around 18 months and the toner level hasn't moved. Mind you, it's still in the box, so that helps. :smiley:

Given I used to work for ebuyer, happily (best part of a decade ago, but not much changed!), and have printed about half a million pages on HP printers, I'd chalk that up to YMMV :smiley:
Fine for me on both counts!

No issues with both. Shopped at ebuyer many times no issues. Bought a hp laser printer from Gumtree for £5, still going strong.

Stupid page timed out and lost my reply.
I cannot be bothered to write it all again, lets just say really shoddy service from both companies.
BTW, I used and recommended HP for over a decade before they stopped caring about their customers.
My printer stats show it costs me £1 per page I print :disappointed: on my officejet 6700...these will be the same. Never again HP!.
You can hear it drinking your ink...over and and over....and over...when you're not even using the damn printer. You're just scanning a document or it turns on...or off. drink...drink...drink. Where the hell does it all go?
that's expensive ink

Are you talking about a colour laser? If not, that`s comparing chalk with cheese! And even so, the resolution of a cheap colour laser is much worse than even the cheapest inkjet and the contrast when printing on glossy paper is much higher.The main advantage, IMO, of the laser is it is useful for occasional printing as toner doesn`t dry and clog jets.

I dont rate cheap Epsons as they are very rattly, but their WP range of SOHO all-in-one printers is pretty good, even with genuine ink, it costs me less per page than most lasers, B/W or colour.(0.5ppp for Black text)
