So far I'm thinking it's not worth the hassle.

Stencil machines look cool

We have a HP Envy 5530 printer scanner. It's wireless capabilities are good, everyone in the house can access it (though it was MUCH more hassle getting the PC to find it that the Macs or even the phones). It's a good scanner and copier and it prints two sided.
It's certainly has annoying quirks but so does every printer. Yes it drinks ink but the HP stuff seems cheaper than fucking Epson. One thing I particularly like about it is that when the black ink runs out it doesn't just shut down. It will print a sheet of black text, for example, using combinations of the colour inks. Good in emergencies.
I've been using it for 2 years and I haven't wanted to smash it so far.
Having said that... laser is better.

That's more my kinda talk Anthony.
Realistically,if I do buy something it won't get a great deal of use so I am leaning to one of those combos. (I know)

Scratch that. Rage with this printer is rising to "smash" level.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Anthony]

Nothing will connect to it. The fucking piece of shit.

We got one in Aldi for €50 on mon. Previous one was a Tesco one, we got 2nd hand off adverts for cheap, just stopped connecting to pc. Only fault.

 

[Anthony]

update: The scanner part connected. No reason.

Did you turn it off and on again?

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Nothing will connect to it. The fucking piece of shit.

Printers are the fucking devil. We got a new modem and the printer won't connect to it. Fuck printers.

 

[Anthony]

It's printing again.

Anyone able to recommend an affordable combined laserjet/ scanner combo unit?
Does such a thing exist?
Fuck inkjet printing
