What's the best printer for $100-150?

[Swanny]

Hello all,

I'm looking to spend $100-150 on a new printer. I'll mostly be using it to print black and white text but I'll also be doing some color text and graphics. Basically I need a good all-around printer. Speed would be nice but not all that important. I'd rather have good quality. Photo features aren't important since I don't have a good digicam anyway.


Thanks a lot!
Swan

Ive had my HP 932c for over a year now and I love it. No problems whatsoever, and its only jammed the paper one time (which took a total of 5 seconds to fix )

It should be selling for about $130 these days. I bought mine from staples for $150 ish last year.

quick link

All printers between $100 - $200

Canon S750. Very fast. Very cheap to operate. Even does passable fotos. (Tho I have a HP7150 for that purpose.)

Yeah, I saw some of the HP 9xx series of printers on sale at Staples the other day for ~$50 after a $30 mail-in rebate.

I personally have a HP 895 at home and I love it. I have the HP 950 at work and love it. Go with HP...

Canon i550 (or i850 if you don't mind the rebate). I'm so happy about the purchase (got the i850).

Yeah I just got the Canon i850s ('s' = USB cable included) from Sams for $148 (dunno if you can still get any kind of rebate, but it's worth trying). Fast, ink efficient, and photos are very nice (on Canon Photo Paper Pro atleast) for an ink-jet printer.
