Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	My Compaq ij1200 printer died. Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacemnt? Photo printing might be nice. Separate color ink carts are a plus. Was thinking of Epson C86... _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

I have a Lexmark Z65N now but would probably buy an Epson when the time comes to replace it. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4572 Loc: USA	I can't really suggest one particular printer, but I will suggest avoiding Lexmark printers. It seems like everytime I work on a home pc that has a lexmark, there is some software conflict or oddity that causes you to have to reinstall the drivers 10 times. Maybe I've just had bad luck with their stuff, but after a while it leaves a bad taste. _________________________ (... better days ahead)

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	I purchased the Epson Stylus Photo 960 and I love it. VERY good photo printing and even prints on CDs. They do have a newer model now though. http://www.epson.com/ http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductCategory.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=-8165

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Dunno if I can recommend a good printer for home use. Did get one from my work (hand me down) that is a multi-function center that is pretty good. It is a Brother MFC-8700 and bought a 6000 page toner cartridge and we have been happy with it.. Did have a Lexmark, but the ink kept running out with it. Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	why bother with ink pissers when you can have a laser printer Dunno about the prizing situation in the states, but here in old Europe even the color ones are quite affordable _________________________

It wipes the floor with every inkjet I've ever seen, not cheap though acmp<>< p.s. the HP colour lasejet printers use a Cannon engine, can't remember which one though. _________________________ Every day is a school day

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Well in that series yes it is good, but we don't often use Photo Paper at work. Users typically use normal paper for things like color Excel sheets, etc... So here is the replacement for that series Howard http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/18972-236251-236268-15077-f58-375773.html Only set you back a little bit. Starting at: $1799.00*

If you need dedicated photo-printing, I'd go for http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=no&oid=8918548 :-) _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Well an $100 unexpected expense is not welcome in my house. And you guys want me to spend thousands!! Epson C84 I think will be coming to visit. $99.99 less $20 rebate. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	LOL I paid over a $1000 for my first 9-wire dot matrix printer in 1982 and it could not even do lowercase descenders! Had to buy the wife a new car to appease her. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

The time has come. The Lexmark is headed for landfill. So Howard, what did you end up with? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
