I am printerless. Just as we are starting Preschool, I am printerless. Actually, I have been printerless since early spring, but it never mattered until now. This will teach me to procrastinate. No, it probably won't teach me. It's been years, and no matter how many problems I run into because of my procrastination, I keep on putting it off. Anyways, this is a bunny trail.
I took my printer into a repair shop because my at home fixes didn't work. They told me that they tried everything, and it is toast. It would cost more than a new printer to fix my old one. It is unfortunate that we have to spend the money on this now, but a positive is that we had the old printer given to us by my sister-in-law so we're not really out any money.
The choices for a new printer...it just boggles my mind. I am officially stumped. I have been looking at reviews, debating HP vs Lexmark vs Epson vs Canon etc. I thought about laser vs inkjet, and decided that I would go inkjet. I was considering the laser because it is cheaper in the long run, but I do use the printer to print off some photos, and the reviews said that the laser didn't do a very good job on printing photos. So at least that is one decision. Oh, and I know that I want an All-in-One, with a scanner and copier, so that is a second decision. But there are still so many options.
I am going to be doing a fair amount of printing, probably around 15 pages a week, maybe a little more. And as we progress in our homeschooling years, I will be printing more, I think. So I want something that will stand up to time, and not fall to pieces in a few years. But I don't want to spend a ton of money initially, though it also is hard for me to buy a cheap printer, and know that in the long run I am spending more money.
Argh! I just can't decide! Help me someone! Tell me what I should do.
