So glad that I changed my long-term habit of having HP printers last year when I was thoroughly fed up of the overcomplications that they'd added to basic printers.

Swapped to an Epson ecotank which is a more expensive printer but it's a revolution in ink!  No cartridges!  Very economical ink usage - I still haven't re-filled it.

Print quality is Ok but not brilliant, and its a bit slow but otherwise very cheap to run!

When it comes to printers I have 2.
1 hard wired (no wireless connection) to my desktop.
2nd wireless printer purchased to be used by my 2 laptops.
Both printers are Epson and no problems using compatable inks, other than a brief message on my wireless printer telling me the ink carts are not genuine Epson.

I have used HP printers in the past, stopped using when inks started getting very expensive.

After we moved house I had a tussle with the HP printer I`d bought only a few months earlier, partly  my fault as I forgot to get the BT engineer to connect it online for me, it ended up being thrown out!!

I bought a cheap Canon printer ( hard wired), prints are fine but copying not so sharp. I`ve just bought a new black cartridge from a company I`ve used before, the one I bought the printer from wanted twice the price !

I`ll see how long this cartridge lasts.
