Printer Recommendations

Since I am entering college, I know some of the colleges require students to pay per print using their printers. IDK if mine does it so I went ahead and decided to browse for a printer to avoid it. I wanted to know what Printer Manufacturers you all recommended for general printing of text files (very few image prints) and scanning. I'm mainly looking used like in FBMK and not new but wanted to know what manufacturers most recommend or get since I see Epson then Canon apart from HP and Dell at times.

 

I'm mainly looking at a guy selling a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Printer for 60 which the ink I could get for 20 via a few aftermarket places since I only know HP well for their prints compared to Canon and such. I did use a Canon printer but there isnt scan function and for some reason i feel the touch interface is needed.

Go on local classifieds and track down a used laser printer. Likely that it'll still have a good amount of toner. If it doesn't, you can buy another cartridge for around 20$

You could just ask your academic advisor, or call the building where the printer is housed (usually the library) and ask if students get print credits. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Stick with the college printers. They charge like 5p a sheet, most of them preload you with a few quid and even then to outweigh the cost of a printer you're looking at 400 sheets. Bear in mind the average ink cartridge only does between 200 and 300 sheets so you would literally never make the cost back.

Might ask in the university chat though the reason I am getting one is cause my Computer Teacher recommends to get one and use the University one as a last case scenario probably cause of the print lines at school
