Printer suggestion?

[KenK]

I'd appreciate a suggestion for an inexpensive printer (no all-in-one) for
XP Home SP-2. The HP Deskjet 1000 I got a few months ago was a disaster;
I'm hesitant to get another HP.

TIA

B&W or Colour ?

B & W preferred (cheaper?)

Inkjet or laser ?

Inkjet preferred (cheaper)

Large volume or low volume printing ?
Small

Photo quality or just text and basic graphics ?

The latter

Brother, hands down. Superb software, they run like tanks, supplies are
cheap and readily available.

i would agree that supplies be cheap and readily available. What ever
printer.

Printer seem to be that cheap they become throw away's when the ink runs
out.

Got two Brother HL-2040's that I placed in the hands of relatives which
BOTH died with the same problem - paper jams after the first sheet. Went
through all the "fix it yourself" web sites and never came up with a fix
that really mattered.

Instead I went for the low-end HP in one case, and a Dell 1130 ($89 at
Micro Center) in the other.
