printer died tonight

theGrinch

my printer died this evening (no flowers please) producing the tempermental message "this printer needs a service".

anyway, Im in the market for a new laser printer for under £60. any recommendations or websites? thanks

They had them cheap in Tescos when I was last there. I would buy whichever are cheap for cartridges, or maybe try freecycle or similar.

Worth trying Ebuyer and Misco for the Samsung ML 2510

Do you have the Mecca of shops for true shoppers near you?


I am of course talking about

HOME BARGAINS!

Not sure if its a "laser" printer but at £19.99 they have a LEXMARK printer in stock and if I am not mistaken you can buy cheap cartridges for it.

Please accept my sympathies ont he passing of your printer - at least you are wise enough not to have it serviced! We did with our first printer (some years ago) it cost us more than the new one!

Happy Hunting!

Are you sure that it is actually deceased ? (it's not a Norwegian Blue ?)
or has the sneaky manufacturer put an electronic "lock" on it to make you have it serviced after x copies. Might be worth googling it to see if there is a way around this.

I got the Argos Samsung one on Thursday. It might be worth checking if there is one available near you

thanks for the responses. moonrakerz I think you might have something there. i cant see why it would display such a notice unless there was some kind of flag.

its an epson stylus c44 plus and I will do a google.

ps i seems an ink pad problem. Im actually very annoyed with epson as this is nothing more than a way for us to replace the printer. I think we the consumer should decide this!
