Small printer required

Options

For years I've had a HP printer and found their monthky ink charge ok, but for six months I hardly use it. We moved to flat and I dumped lots of stuff, including the printer.


Now I miss not having the opportunity etc. Would anyone care to recommend a small printer with cartridges that I would replace when I needed please.

  • You can buy a HP printer that you can replace cartridges when needed you don't have to sign up to their instant ink service.

    I personally would recommend the HP Laserjet M140we. Its a toner cartridge rather than ink jet but the toner should last periods of non use whereas inkjet tend to dry out. It is a black and white only printer

    A laser printer is the way to go.  The toner lasts for ages and doesn't dry out like ink does.  Inkjets are not good if they are rarely used.

    As you hardly use a printer, toner is the way to go, you can get small ones and the toner you get with the printer will  probably last you years!
