What kind of printer should we get? Simple home user.

The type of printer is not an issue concerning the computer. However it is more of what type of work you want to produce. I have an Epson WF-3540. I have this printer because it gives me the option of using the other color inks in place of one I am out of. Most of the printers today when you run out of one color ink your printer will stop working until you replace the empty color. It is strictly up to you what you wish to accomplish. Hope this helps.

Printers can link with nearly any computer. Do some searching and find a printer that is cheap, plus long ink cartridge life. Stay away from Brother Printers they are broke more times then working.

Not many ;-) Seriously, it's slower than any "modern" printer I use at a variety of offices I've printed in. However, if you're not in a hurry, it's fine for home use.

I both this printer for 2 people I know. It was simple setup and very good print quality. The wireless printing is great because both people use laptops. I would say yes it is a very good value.

Just a color printer. A good one, actually, considering it's a portable unit. Even the jets don't seem to clog even though I only do a "test print" when I do it's periodic "charge the battery" every other month. Your question came in on the sleeve. Think that reply should be somewhere...

agreed 100 % about HP. They are said to be the "best printers out there" but a year 3 months later it is sitting in the trash. I just bought a canon so we will see how it goes. :)

Seems to be a common theme with these entry level printers... good luck finding one to buy.

you can use any printer, you have to buy a disc, bought mine at Wal-Mart or you can just get it on the web.

I switched over to an Epson WF7520 about 6 months ago because I needed a larger paper size and the printer has worked perfectly. If you print a lot of photos you may want to consider a 6 color model to get better quality. I've used several different printers and so far Epson has been the best. The Dell 926 was the worst one.

Up to date drivers is a good idea. Also, when you click on "print", a square menu comes up. Make sure the right printer is identified and then click on "Properties". then on the tab titled "Main" if you are not already there. You should see a line of pictures suggesting draft, text, etc. Click on "Text and Image". That should work. I had to specify with each printing for a while, then it got the hint that I wanted text and image.Good Luck!

I love this computer - it works great and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, inexpensive laptop. You can hook up a printer via a USB port, the ethernet, wireless router or bluetooth. Like others said you will need to have a wireless router and your printer software to hook it up that way, check w/ their websites on-line, the software is usually downloadable if you don't have it already installed.

That would require a print server instead of a hub. Puts the printer on a network. Easy to do.

The m1319mfp printer is a an excellent printer, fax, copier for a small office. I just purchased a second one for a new location of our company. It is a little pricey at over (new) $600 but the high end of HP printers are more reliable then the low end. I would rather pay more and have less troubles. When I looked used (refurbed) they were around $200. I suggest buy a refurb that is guaranteed, use the catridges, and then hopefully use many more! (I assume that the one you have can't be repaired?? ) Good luck!

The software you use should not be an issue. As long as your computer has a USB port, the printer should work nicely.

Hi, What is your HP model? All the HP portable printers I see look quite large..

Hi Diane, Yes, to all of the above...and a whole lot more! I too have a home office and this printer has been a godsend for me. I used to buy HPs but will now never go back after using this one, I love it. I am NOT a spokesperson for the company...just a happy, contented consumer! Hope I've helped you out. Have a great evening! Kind regards, Pamela
