Charles, I have a brother all-in-one laser printer, copier and scanner. I find it's way cheaper than to buy ink cartridges and it's been working solidly for about 4 years now.
We own a DCP-7020 which is no longer being made. It looks like the DCP-7040 is the new model. The new models cost about $180.00 http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=brother+copier+fax+scanner+laser+dcp&cid=15181932140964007152&sa=title#p I might be cheaper to donate that one to Goodwill or something and buy a new one. --- On Mon, 3/15/10, Charles Hart Enzer, M.D., FAACP <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Charles Hart Enzer, M.D., FAACP <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [NF] Printing Black Only with Empty Color Cartridge > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Date: Monday, March 15, 2010, 1:51 AM > > > > > > > Dear Pete: > > > > Thank you for the Heads Up. > > > > I should never had ditched my HP Deskjet 520 -- no problems > and had it > two decades. > > Just couldn't Scan and Fax. > > > > I guess I will either buy new printers instead of > cartridges -- printer > is less than a cartridge -- or go laser. > > > > I print about 300 pages a month. > > > > Pete Theisen wrote: > > Charles Hart Enzer, M.D., FAACP wrote: > > > > I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a > Series. > > > > > > I print in Black only.
