I need to buy a new printer.  What printer do you recomend and why?

Any HP brand printer is usually good... I like laser printers myself.

I have an HP PSC 1300, and it's wonderful. Just don't install that extra bloated crap...

Agreed... waste of memory and space on your computer... If it prints things... and prints things with good quality... why install a bunch of junk that you won't ever use anyways.

depends on your budget, jet/laser, only printer/all in one

i'll help you find one once you provide the info

budget 150.00 can
jet
just printing documents and on occasion pictures.

Canon Pixma iP5000 (i have that one (it can print on cds is you hack it because north american version doesn't have it for some reason)

HP Deskjet 5850

all i can find in 5 minutes
i'll look more later

If yu're lucky, Windows XP may recognise an HP printer, so you won't have to install any drivers! My PC recognised my DeskJet 3550.

I have this printer too, it works really well on both normal and on cds .

HP printers are cheap and work well but the ink is a rip off, I have payed double the printer's cost in ink over this year

Btw: £60 printer when I got this computer, scanner and photocopier to, works like a dream, they were giving it away knowing ink costs alot more.
