Buying a (cheap)printer (1 Viewer)

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Looking for a cheap printer, Only real use will be printing stuff out for the kids,so it doesn't need to be anything fancy.

What do I need to look out for?
My computer is ancient and doesn't have bluetooth,at least not that I know of. Is it easy enough to print from a tablet or phone? What about ink cartridges etc?

Thanks.

Colour or black and white? I bought a HP LaserJet 1010 b&W laser printer for about €100 years and years ago and only just had to replace the "starter" toner i got with it for the first time a couple of months ago - cost me €15 or something from 7dayshop.com

This would be the current model i suppose -
Amazon product ASIN B003ANFRU2
for printing from tablets and phones i use Google Cloud Print

I can't recommend one, but be wary of the cheap ones, companies like HP often have enticingly cheap ones, that then cost a fortune to replace the ink on.

You can go to ink refiller shops, but I've never had a successful go of that.

Have a look at what gets good reviews on Amazon maybe, and I'm sure adverts.ie is full of them

I'd have to buy something brand new,and in a shop as opposed to online,but I'll have a look at reviews.
