I got one of those freebie Dell printers thrown in and am always having to
buy ink from Dell, they seem very small, my other computer has HP printer
which I like so far, had it for about four years. I do lots of printing and
some ph otos also. Family tree research, am always printing hard copies of
online research. I will be tempted soon to buy another HP printer, is not
laser though.
