Recommendations for New HP Printer

[Sam]

I am planning to purchase a new Dell computer with Vista Business. To use
with this new computer, I would like to purchase a new HP inkjet printer
without any major composite functions (without any of the all in one or
photo type features) other than printing black/color, double sided printing,
and reasonably fast printing speed. My initial selection was the HP
Officejet Pro K5400 Color Printer, but it had some negative comments on the
Amazon web site for customer comments. My next look was at the HP Deskjet
6988dt Printer and if I remember correctly, did not see as many negative
comments about this printer as the K5400. I should note that my printing
requirements vary from 1000 to 3000 sheets per month, mostly black.

Any comments and suggestions would be very much appreciated, Sam.

Many thanks for your reply and comments. Did a quick research on Amazon and
Google and saw mostly very positive comments from customers and reviews
about the IP4500!! I now have my new printer selected, thanks to your
information. Sam

HP's are very costly to run..

That is a generalisation that is unfair to HP.
The real facts are that some HP ink printers are costly to run and some
are
amongst the cheapest.
Usually the more you pay for a printer the cheaper the cost of ink and
this,
admitted generalisation, is true for most printer manufacturers.

Cheap to run is only one factor to consider. Quality of print result,
speed, availabiltiy of disposables, good repair history - these are only a
few.
