I need a new printer ... again.
I've never had luck with printers. Granted, when I was younger, they were the cheaper models - but the last one I got was more costly ... and it's still flaky. (It's a Dell, so no surprise there.)
This will primarily be used for printing forms and documents.
Here is what I do not need:
- I'll never be printing pictures, so I don't need fancy graphic capabilities.
- I don't need bells and whistles (which, in my experience, only serve to complicate the function and make the overall device more fragile).
- I don't need a built-in scanner.
- I don't need wireless capability (though I'd be fine with this feature if present).
- I don't even really need color (though again, I'd be fine with this feature if present).
Here are my only real requirements:
- Simple
- Sturdy
- Reliable
Has anyone had any positive experiences with printers that will fit my basic needs?
Ideally, I'd prefer to cap my spending around US $500, but I'm willing to hear any recommendations anyone might have.
Just in case it matters, I'm running Windows 7.
Thanks!
