Selecting a printer

canyonhorses · 10-16-2009, 11:50 AM

I need to buy a new printer. Inkjet I would like a scanner/copier. Fax is optional but would be nice. I prefer individual ink cartridges. I do a lot of text printing and some photo. Would like quality in both. I need something that will print labels and envelopes. Would like to stay under $ 100.00 if possible. I like to refill my own cartridges. I am leaning towards brother. I had a cannon and liked it. the Hp's I have had have been good but I have not had one with individual cartridges. We have an Epson now and have had nothing but trouble with it. Any suggestions? Any help would be great.
Thanks
Paula

I find it best to simply browse a site such as Newegg. You can read through the reviews to get an idea of customer feedback.

I prefer Canon and many of their models use individual ink tanks. Just note that many of the new ink tanks use a microchip to prevent reuse.

The microchip is one of the things that I am trying to stay away from.
