My main priority is being able to print documents and anything else I need for work—black and white or in color. Photos are pretty much an afterthought. For size, I guess they’d be like standard snapshots you get from a studio; maybe something where I could fit a four-photo collage on an A4 sheet and just cut them out myself. I’m not entirely sure how that works.

I’d like decent quality, but nothing crazy or high-end. The real reason I’m looking for a new one is that my current setup is worn out; I need something faster and more modern. It’s just a basic home printer, but a nice little bonus would be being able to print a photo every now and then.

Honestly, I’m pretty clueless about all this. Even though I’ve been doing some reading, I’m totally open to any advice or recommendations you guys have.

With my current printer, I just hit “print,” the pages come out, and that’s the end of it. 😬 I don't buy ink, I don't swap cartridges, and I am completely lost when it comes to scanners, printers, faxes, and all that gear. I actually want to change that and finally learn how this stuff works, because I know it isn't rocket science.

I'm looking for some advice and recommendations on a new printer.

For a long time, I've had this HP (not necessarily this exact model, just something in this vein). It cost me about $30 back when I bought it a decade ago, and it’s definitely seen better days. I want to upgrade to something more powerful and modern with more features. I'll be honest, I don't know much about technical specs, so any help would be appreciated.

I was looking at this one, also an HP. It seems to be hovering around $160 on most sites. The main thing that caught my eye is the photo printing capability. Does anyone here own it? Is the photo quality actually decent?
(I realize it won't match professional studio prints, but since I'm planning to make a ton of physical and digital albums, I just need it to look good enough for home use.)

Aesthetically, I'm not a huge fan of the design, but I see there are various models available (and different colors). I've been trying to read through the technical specs, but I can't quite figure out what the major differences are—specifically, if those differences actually matter for what I need or how much I'll end up paying. For instance, do I really need a fax function? Is it worth getting one just in case, or is that a waste of money? Also, what's the real difference between inkjet and laser? And will black and color ink cartridges for this specific printer be easy to find and reasonably priced?

What should I get if I want something high-quality that offers plenty of versatility?

Hey 🙂

I accidentally used the quick links to mark all the forums as read, and now I'm completely lost because everything is the same color and looks read. Is there any way to undo this and get things back to how they were? 🤦

Yeah, today.

It’s Sunday afternoon, so the traffic spike was expected. Things seem to be smoothing out now.

Thanks, Casey Bennett, this is awesome! 🙂

Hey 🙂

I’m not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figured I’d try here.

I've been trying to shrink my signature and tweak the color, but the system keeps blocking me—it basically tells me I don't have permission to apply those specific codes for size or color.

Ideally, I want to trim it down to just two lines so it doesn't take up half the screen and looks a bit cleaner. I also really wanted to switch the text to violet. So, yeah, does anyone know if there's actually a way to do this? 🤷
