Cheap Printers

[Cindi]

Also ran across a Lexmark printer on eBay for $1 which I saw in Walmart
for $59 but don't know if the quality is good. Here is the link:

Anyone familiar with the quality of this item?

Cheers

More trouble than it's worth just to own it. I suggest get a $100 (or so) Hewlet Packard
Photosmart printer, the jets are built into the ink cartridges which are cheap enough, so,
basically no trouble. I have the old 7150 and after three years it's still going good. They
are six color with cartridge exchange for from-regular-to-photo printing. Been through
hell and high water with a couple older Epson photo printers, maybe they're better these
days.

You didn't run across a printer on eBay for $1. The required
starting bid is one cent, but there is a reserve. If the reserve
figure is not met, the item will not sell.

Why anyone would put a reserve on a printer that retails for about $30
is beyond me, though. For this to be a good buy, the reserve has to
be around $10 since shipping is $10.95. But it's a crappy printer.

Look at the Seller's feedback: 7 positive and 4 negative feedbacks.

This is why 10 foot poles were invented.

Thank you for spamming this group with item that is completely off topic.
You are obviously the seller. And what is more the seller has only a 66%
feedback rating a definite reason not to buy from you. Note also that the
reserve is not met and who knows what it will be if it is met after the $11
S & H is added.

Good luck,

The Canon Pixmas in this range are better the the HPs and cheaper to
operate. The prints are as good or better without having to buy HP
paper.
