Best Wireless Printer On The Truck.

[Mike]

I personally prefer Brothers printers in my house.

Does your brother know you have his printer in YOUR house?

www.inkfarm.com is a decent place to check out if you want to buy ink online with free shipping. (lame attempt to keep my post on topic)

all of these posts are on topic.

While I believe a Brothers printer superior to anything else, (the only thing that ruined my laser printer was a lightening strike that also took out 2 power supplies, a cable modem and a network switch).

To be a "best" printer, one also has to consider where, when and HOW you will get the consumables for said printer as well.

Purchase a printer with future ink purchases in mind. Last I remember, Kodak seemed to be about the cheapest in that regard.

didn't Kodak have problems with there print heads wearing out to fast . I don't know how there printers are now

 

[krelithous]

exactly my point.

I personally prefer Brothers printers in my house. But good luck finding a cartridge for them all the same places you would an HP.

I avoid Lexmark printers as some of them are known to give you some kind of software issues

Don't know, did they?

yea they did when they first came out with em. I don't know how there printers are now though

Kodak isn't around anymore, and @krelithous ...dude...seriously...I asked about printers ON THE TRUCK.

Everyone here likes you man, but ya gotta wake up. Read the thread title again. Please. I'm being nice here.

Otherwise thanks for the feedback all, and keep it coming.

I may get a new truck assignment (if the universe all of a sudden shifts alignment) so this will go on a while. So this will be an topic in the future.

Still. I'd like to avoid the scanner thing. They'd really want me to turn in everything instantly..argh.

I have tried the laser printer in the truck. It's considerably cheaper for consumables than an inkjet.

The lasers I've tried won't even turn on because of dirty power out of the inverter I have. Near as I can tell, one needs to get a full sine wave inverter for the electronics in a laser where an inkjet works just fine.

I had experience with 3 wireless printers, and could say that canon is the best printer brand.

Agreed. Much tougher than HP or Lexmark.

I’ve had a cheap cannon for at least six years

If you don’t need color I’ve had good luck Witt this one, I didn’t pay that much for it but I’d been a while.

How long does ink last in it and is it reasonable? The cannon ink last a while, but it’s kinda pricey

Nevermind. 401 bucks! I think I gave less than 50 for the cannon

It doesn’t use ink, I paid less than that but I bought it because I have limited room in a daycab

just tossed an HP office jet out the door and traded it in for an epson ecotank. as buying ink for the HP was like making car payments. though i do love epsons model since the ink comes in bottles and they can't do crazy shit like put DRM'S on the ink like HP has done in the past

one problem cannon has is the print heads wear out fast from what users say. but other than that they love cannon

i had a cheap HP for years and the ink was more than the dam printer was

Had my Canon printer for years. Don't print the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica every other day, though.

I print a lot and never had to change the print head
