Dell 926 Inkjet Printer $49 + Free shipping

[dakels]

Didn't see this posted anywhere and it's a pretty good deal.

Dell 926 Inkjet Printer is $49 after $50 instant rebate (no code needed). The 3-5 day shipping is free as far as I can tell even though the coupon (included) indicates free shipping for a printer $70 and over, it still works when you go to check out. I assume they treat it as the non rebate price. Tax is applicable depending on state ($3.43).

Overall a nice printer and a great deal. It has a covered flatbed on top of the printer for scanning which is fantastic at this price range and form factor.

Warning: this may not come with a USB cable. Don't get the cable through Dell, It's horribly overpriced. Hopefully you either have an extra cable or you can pick one up locally, or through the egg usb 2 printer cable

Just as a note Dell printers are made by Lexmark, who is known for putting out notoriously bad printers.
Also the only place to get ink as of right now is Dell.
Not a horrible deal if you need an all in one though.

my lexmark had the best text print quality of any inkjet i had.

i'm pretty sure i saw dell (or compatible) ink cartridges at officemax last week.

Nice price. I was going to order it but after reading the reviews I decided not to for now. Many reviewers complained that the color ink cartridge ran out too quick and were too expensive. Some people were complaining about running out of color after only a few photo quality prints. Sounds like Dell is trying to rip people off by not putting enough ink in the carts.

I bought a Dell AIO 922 a couple of years ago for about the same price. Print quality is not that great but it's an ok printer. I don't use it a lot because of ink costs. I tried using a refill cart I picked up at Staples but they cannot reset the onboard chip so they can't turn off the low ink warning. You just have to keep using it until it runs dry.

I stand corrected, you can find remanned ink cartridges for dell printers at Staples.
I don't see any new ones though.

I purchased my remanned ink cartridge for my 922 at Staples. It came out within a dollar of ordering a new cart from Dell and as I mentioned before, the remanned cart does not reset the low ink warning. I'm not sure how much ink is in the remanned cart so it may have more and last longer.

Fry's is selling the Canon IP4300 for $69 this week. It's a great printer and easy to refill. Buy a good scanner to go with it.
