    What sort of things do you want to print?

    Do you need colour?

    How many pages a month?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
  • Hi GDB2222, A4 documents, doesn't have to be colour, around 20 pages per month

    I've no idea EE, sometimes with technology, I wish I was back at school :#

    Hi. I just bought a new printer. its a canon pixma mg2550s. and its fine. I do voluntary work for the diabetes trust, and I print letters and postage labels for that no problem at all.

    The CQ60 comes in about six million different variations.  An actual model number is usually located either on the bottom of the laptop or under the battery.

    Believe the older incarnations of these may have come with Vista initially, though a lot of them will run 7 and maybe 10.  Newer ones may have come with a newer version of Windows

    But anyway any printer you like will almost certainly work on it.
  • List down a budget so we can narrow it down further! But echoing what the other member said: just about any modern printer will be compatible with your device :)
