Printer
I NEED HELP!
I got a #$%@$#% printer that drives me up the wall, we spent a ()*&(@#$ load of money on it and I can not fine a printer that will do what I want it to do. So I need you help. This is what my requirements are.
1. Wireless
2. Non chip locked
3. Scanner
4. Replaceable heads (Come with Ink cartridges)
5. Photo quality
Anyone know?
Here is the last piece of crap I bought.
BTW If you replace the head it will cost you $150 I had to do this once.

Epson Stylus SX600FW multifunction printer
This maybe what you need
[img]http://www.photographyblog.com/images/p ... 00fw_1.jpg[/img]
Unfortunately, not yet available in Aust.
Read about it here---> Epson Stylus SX600FW Tour
or here----> Photoblog Review
The SX600FW comes packed with pretty much all the connectivity options one might require from such a product, starting with USB 2.0 and ending with the built-in 802.11b/g/n wireless module. Moreover, like most other products of this type, the SX600FW is PictBridge compliant, which means that it can be used for printing photos from digital cameras directly.
At GBP 150 not bad price.

Print, Scan, Copy, Fax, DVD/CD Print
PC Interface Type: USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, Wired LAN, Bluetooth V2.0 (Optional BU-30)

I ended up going with the HP Deskjet F4280, I put it on a wireless D-Link DIR-655 gigabyte router.
Does everything I need.
I can replace the head by changing the cartridge and refill it with my drums of ink.
So If you need a good wireless solution with replaceable heads.
Here is my shopping list.
1. Printer
http://www.shopbot.com.au/pp-hp-deskjet ... 13173.html
2. Wireless
http://www.shopbot.com.au/default.asp?k ... ion=search
3. INK
http://stores.ebay.com.au/cartridgedirect2000
For all around $350
And big savings in the long run.

Sorry,
Can't bring myself to buy a HP
Too many bad memories.
Canon or Epson
For me cartridges are approx $20 each so not a big individual expense.
I go through about 1 off each (CMYK & Lge Blk) each month.
So I guess $100 a month on cartridges.
I went down the after market cartridge path about 2 years ago
had the cartridge run out but it didn't register on the printer so it kept printing the document to the end.
It was the BLK cart that ran out during a 70page document.
The last 30 odd pages were pretty pics with no text - NO HAPPY JAN
Swore I would never go anything but genuine again.
