Also—the clerk is pushing the HP B209A hard on me. Claims HP is generally more reliable than Epson, but I'm seeing a ton of nasty reviews about this one, like right here: http://tinyurl.com/87hqx44
How much can you actually trust these online reviews...?
Here’s the deal—I need a printer for maybe twenty pages a week. A couple of those will be photos or illustrations, but everything else is just straight black text.
I don't care if the photo quality is amazing; I just need something reliable that won't die on me, and most importantly, the cost per page needs to be dirt cheap when using third-party ink. It's gotta have scan/copy functions, but honestly, I don't give a damn about WiFi.
Don't ask me about refilling cartridges—I'm not getting into the weeds with you, just know I want low running costs using generic ink.
Budget for the hardware is around $233. I might stretch to eight hundred if the long-term savings make sense, or even $0.33.
