Pity it doesn't have fax or a document feeder. I bought the HP Officejet 6600 from OW for $99. Now that's a better printer.
Any idea why Google doesn't list it as a supported printer? https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html#info-c…
I'm pretty keen to be able to use cloud print
(edit.. never mind.. I see there is an option to setup 'other' printers so sure this'll work)
I'm trying to find a cheap wifi laser printer, but should I buy this instead? the toner is cheaper for laser than inkjet right?
Depends. I can buy the Calidad 4 colour cartridge compatible ink set (black 1000 page and colour cartridges 825 pages each) for my HP Officejet 6600 from OW for $100. Can you get a set of 4 colour laser toners for $100?.
Will these cartridges clog up if the printer is used only every few weeks?
I always remember my old Epson where I would manage only 2-3 prints out of a cartridge.
Your Epson was obviously dodgy. Maybe there was a flaw in the way that printer injected ink and leaked. That shouldn't happen with the other branded printers. I mean there was obviously some thing faulty in the printer if you could only get 2-3 printouts from the cartridge. Leaking ink perhaps. Heck i would have thrown that printer in the bin where it belonged.
You won't have any problems with this PIXMA MG5560 even if you only print out a few times every few weeks or so. I can't see why not. Not unless the printer is faulty and starts massively leaking ink which it shouldn't.
I haven't been using my HP Officejet 6600 very often at the moment maybe twice a week at most and it's going along strong. Still on the original starter cartridges.
My Epson used up the whole tank of ink in doing its prep stuff and head cleaning 5 times.
6 new ink tanks and 3 are empty before heads are cleaned to start printing.
Wow that's shocking.
Guys,
There is a cash back for this printer - from $10 to $500 guaranteed depending on your luck..https://store.canon.com.au/en/Offers/PIXMA-WIN
Not bad. You could buy this printer for $79 and win $500 back pocketing $421 profit if you're extremely lucky. Worst case scenario you get $10 back and have a printer that ended up costing $69.
These printers are becoming cheaper than the ink refill cartridges
Buy compatible cartridges they're cheaper than the genuine originals.
Also found a good deal on a printer/scanner that i bought yesterday from officeworks, Its a HP Deskjet 2540 with WiFi (connected it to my android phone) On sale until the end of this month for $39 (normally $69)
