Best affordable printer.

[Zando_]

IDK where to put this, since there isn't a printer section AFAIK. I need a cheap printer (as cheap as possible). I'm working on a set of Mandalorian armor (think Jango/Boba Fett, but my own colors), so I have to print off a ton of templates to get the right sizing. I hate using my parents printer, since it's really nice and the ink is super expensive. I just need a cheap, dependable printer than print black and white, as fast as possible (since I have to print off 15-30 pages at a time). I'd like to just plug it in via USB to my PC, plug it into my power strip, set it up in Windows, and forget about it. I'm in the US, prefer Newegg and Amazon.

 

Any ideas?

But how will I know it works? And I don't quite want a crappy one.... and they'll most likely be old ones, and hard to find ink for.

If you don't care about color, the Brother HL-L2340DW. It's $20 or so less for the non-wireless one.

IDK, I doubt there's any proper BIOS or OS support. And no mention of some beast GPU with 12MB VRAM, so I doubt it'd work. I don't think it even has an HDD.
