Hi George, I like the sound of that Brother printer. I've just been on the phone to my friend and told him about the response I've received to my enquiry. He's decided to go shopping next week and will be focussing his attention on Lexmark and Brother Printer/Scanners. I've suggested his first question should be, how much am I going to have to pay for replacement cartridges? I pointed out that even if you don't use the printer very much, the cartridge can dry out and become clogged. I recently took a gartridge to get a refill and was told I had to buy a new one because it had become clogged through lack of use. Best. Robert. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2004 4:21 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Printer/Scanner A very good point, Robert. I bought my last HP Tri Colour cartridge printer about 4 years ago, and now only look at ones which have separate colour ink tanks. My wife has a Brother all-in-one, colour printer, copier, fax and scanner, and we have been very happy with it. =20 It's quite valid to say that a multi-function device is risky in the sense of it possibly breaking down, but these days they are infinitely more reliable than say 4 or 5 years ago when they were being introduced. As I travel up around, I am seeing more and more major hotels using all-in-ones on reception. I think that speaks volumes. Accessibility is an issue, and as someone here mentioned a Lexmark, and if that fits the bill, then go for it.
