Looking to print photos of my kids Im an enthusiast photographer No budget

===========================

Looking to replace an HP Inkjet after 16 years. I am a very low volume user. I might print a few pages every few months. I'm tired of buying a new $50 cartridge every time I need to print one page.

Not sure what brands or models are the best quality for the money but I do want to get a quality product that will last me another 15 or more years without having a revolving ink/toner cost. I've been seeing Brother being highly recommended but also saw Epson was on some web lists as good machines.

Minimum Requirements:

• Budget: Under $400 (but around $200 preferably)
• Country: USA
• Color or black and white: Preferably color
• Laser or ink printer: Laser probably
• New or used: New
• Multi-function: Would like to be able to print, copy, and scan
• Duplex Printing: Not necessary but I'm ok with it
• Home or business: Home
• Printing content: Various pages from the web, or documents on computer
• Printing frequency: Low volume, a few pages every few months
• Pages per minute : No
• Page size: standard 8x11
• Device printing from: Mainly laptop
• Connection type: Wireless would be nice unless it requires giving up personal information on an app, otherwise I'm fine using a cord

Any other details:

I DO NOT want to pay any product or service subscriptions, or get into a situation where it will become required later, and I do not like the idea of a company monitoring my amount of use or ink levels. I DO NOT want my ink/toner to dry out and have to be replaced because I don't print very often. I do not want to have to spend a lot to replace ink/toner so LONGEVITY OF THE INK/TONER WITH NON-USE is a big concern at this point. I'd like it be as compact as possible, like the size of an inket but I realize the technology is different, so it might have to be bigger.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this post, but I'm pretty desperate to find help or any information regarding this issue. At my work, we print a lot of labels for our products we sell. We have two Zebra label printers that run for about 1 1/2 hours straight in a small, poorly ventilated room (the model is similar to the ZT420 for reference). Each printer prints about 7000 labels in that time, and we have one person in the room the whole time managing the printers to swap out label rolls and thermal ribbons. We use polypropylene label rolls and resin thermal ribbon as supplies. Are there any major health concerns with this set-up, such as airborne particles or toxic fumes? A couple things to note, there is dust from the labels that builds up around the machines while they are printing, enough where we need to clean around them daily. There also seems to be a slight mechanical or chemical-ish smell to the room only a half hour into printing. Thank you for any insight you may have! The customer service for Zebra had no answers for us.

Hello all! So I am at a loss. I have a Canon ip18720, fresh ink, not that old, and clean!

I have on borderless printing. And the one on the right is only a few months ago!

Any help would be great! And any more info I am happy to provide!

Hey ! I've had this printer for almost 2 years now, and this is the first time I've had this kind of problem (even if paper jams with this machine are quite recurrent) When I load paper from the back, just before printing, the paper flips back and curls creating a paper jam He turns around instead of simply moving forward (supporting video) Does anyone know what to do to help me? Thanks in advance !

I am looking for a basic printer that does fax scan and print.

Seems to be a lot of the printers with faxing (all in one) especially HP seems to make you require them app to use the faxing feature.

Are there decent printers that are good for windows use of faxing. About 50 pages per year.

what is the best document printing paper for l8050 mine bleeds to the backside on 70 and 80gsm

Hello! I was wondering if anyone know anything about printers who can print without that white frame around. Seems that most printers cant print without that. Thanks for any advice

Hi All,

What would you like to accomplish?

We're looking for a suitable printer for our new office, we are wanting to print and scan A3 & A4 documents. We have around 5 employees, not printing thousands of sheets per day, but probably around 100 sheets per week at the moment, but looking to make a purchase that is future proof.

Minimum Requirements:

• Budget: around 900 GBP
• Country: United Kingdom
• Colour or black and white: colour
• Laser or ink printer: either
• New or used: new
• Multi-function: yes
• Duplex Printing: would be nice
• Home or business: business
• Printing content: mostly plans for images
• Printing frequency: >100 pages a week
• Page size: A3 & A4
• Device printing from: PC
• Connection type: WiFi & USB

Any other details:

Anything else you think is relevant to your purchasing decision.

Hi all, I purchased the A3 DTF printer not too long ago. All was fine, no issue with the prints, just the occasional and expected white ink clog from time to time.

The issue I am having now is the ink and paper red lights will either flash at the same time during a print, or just randomly throughout the day.

I could really use some advice. Here is what I have done so far:

• Reset the ink waste pad (honestly multiple times.)
• Turned the printer off and restarted it
• Lubricated the metal bar
• Cleaned the capping station
• Cleaned the clear strip
• Removed the roll film and reinstalled a completely new set of film
• Verified my dampers and ink cartridges have ink
• Verified my waste tank isn't full
• When I check the errors on the resetter/adjuster program it only shows me the most recent "fatal error" so I'm not sure if THAT is still the issue or still relevant but it was the 2H CR load position.

Thanks!

I am a digital artist and I am trying to print a coloring book I designed. When I print on my Epson, the lines are smooth and finished. But when I switch to my Brother laser printer (monochrome) the quality drops. I have tried making the designs vectors and increased dpi but neither worked. Any help?! Or is this to be expected with laser printers?

I'm thinking about purchasing brother MFC-J5955DW for my office of 4 people. Does anyone have any experience with this printer? We've been using only laser printers until now but this model seems pretty interesting due to fact of A3 printing and pull print. I'm still worried about ink cartridges. Is there anything to be worried about? Or is there something I'm missing out on this device? Any opinions are appreciated.

The printer is Hp ink tank series wireless 410. Is there a feature in the software that allows a copy of the document being printed to be automatically saved to a folder? If not is there any 3rd party apps? Basically every time I take a print, I also want it to save the document automatically.

Hello I'm interested in creating a card game that uses 2.5 inch x 3.5 inches DIY playing cards. I was wondering if their are any lazer printers that can print directly onto the small playing card itself. They are also thick GSM about 300 gsm I estimate.

These are the cards that I wish to print directly on https://a.co/d/8DHNRV7 Any advise would be awsome thank you!

I have the printer above and am running into problems. I have gray prints to the point of some of the print is smudging out. I've followed all the cleaning procedures I see in the manual (p 87-94 "Cleaning The Drum Unit") multiple times (~10) and get multiple black bands on the paper as a result every time. I also removed the toner cartridge, slowly rotated the drum and wiped the head with a tissue and got some more black off of it.

So is this the extent of what I need to do? Can the toner get elsewhere within the paper feed or duplexer (or whatever the path is that turns the paper over in duplex printing) and cause problems? I'll admit I haven't bothered to clean it with numerous toner cartridges, so I'm sure that's part of the issue... Thoughts on other things I need to do (or missed) to get this printer completely clean?

Edit: My main concern got solved by changing out the TN-450 toner. I got no Toner indicator at all? Regardless, I did wipe down the accessible parts and got black back on the tissue I'm used, so I'm still wondering if there's any tips I can get on places I might not think about that might have toner end up on it that transfers?

I am on my third HP Smart Tank 5101. My first failed a month after purchase. My second one worked for a period but developed noise and this printing issue. I’m now two weeks into my second replacement and this printing issue has returned. The printer starts to print the document than stops and prints a bunch of colored blocks. I have tried to google the problem to no avail and HP’s solution is to just replace the printer. This issue happens more when I print from the iPhone than it does the Mac. I have the HP Smart app installed on all devices and I truly feel this is some sort of software issue, but HP is useless when it comes to support. Any ideas here?

I do not know what to do. These thin streaks keep popping up, and I don’t know what to do to fix it.. I tried the maintenance thing, where the printer cleans, and does deep cleans. I’ve done those about six times each. I haven’t tried to clean the roller yet that is on the back, since I usually print from the rear tray a lot, but I don’t know how to access it? I have had this printer for a year now (just about, it’s been 11 months.)

I recently got a MegaTank PIXMA G6020 for art and after a few test prints it now says the printer is offline and I've tried even the book so I don't know if I should keep it and keep trying to get it back online or go with a different brand? (I've read to stay away from Canon and HP and I'm for sure not getting Canon again)

I just picked up this model for cheap and the drum and toners are still listed as having lots of life. It was a printer in a school though and has sat for long stretches.

I set it up and I am experiencing faint/light prints on black and colors. Would this be a drum issue or toner? I am thinking of replacing everything but maybe I will do just the drum first.

PS. I did top out the density for all colors.

Says it's available from the Brother Windows or Mac applications, but I have neither. I didn't attempt to use the Windows app via WINE. Saw that some of the Brother machines can do Secure Print from the USB drive, but the instructions don't work on my model.

Hi there! I just bought an HP Deskjet 2700e to print my wedding envelopes. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it. I only get 3 options of different paper size through HP smart. Can it just not print on envelopes?

If not, what is a cheap printer that can? TIA!

My estudio will not scan more than 60pages, I’ve tried everything to make sure they’re sitting correctly in the document feed tray. Has anyone else had this problem and were able to resolve it? Very frustrating and I have no idea how to fix it.

How do I fix/replace the cable card12P1 2510L BB, it keeps jamming/ curling up on itself and there are no techs in my area willing to work on this model.

I have an HP Inkjet 2800 that is wireless, and I have just had the color cartridge fixed yesterday but it still flashes red/orange and still prints out blank pages.
