Dell doesn't make their own printers, at least they didn't used to. Epson made at least one line of their printers. Lexmark is a joke, the ink costs twice the price you paid for the printer! I've had Epsons clog, I too have had my best luck with HP printers. The ones I've had lasted for years, one is still working. Cheap ink too. I use a Canon photo printer for......well yes, photos. LOL. It's been great and ink is cheap for them as well. (Now watch the Canon printer explode now! HA!!!) -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Grossman" I use and recommend only HP printers. My reasoning is simple: It is sometimes difficult to find the right Brother, Epson, or Lexmark toner, whether original or refilled. Dell insists on getting the toners from them. HP toners, on the other hand, are readily available, all the time, all over the place. That single issue tips the scale in favor of HP. Yes, their support is awful. However, I usually need service or support only once for each device. I do need toners or cartridges on a regular basis.
