All in One Printer

I have lived without a printer for many years, how often do you need to print anything?

Most people prefer reading on a screen anyway. But there are times that you do need to print, such as a coupon, or just some personal things.

I bought a printer, an HP Photosmart. The catches for modern printers are 1) inks are expensive, won't be cheaper than 29 cents per copy unless you print a lot 2) no cables provided. Well, you don't need cable if you have a wireless network. The big wide printer cables are things in the past, nowadays it is USB, both are expensive(!)

It is hard to find a regular printer now. Modern printers are all-in-one; they can copy and scan too.

The catch is: copy means scan it and then print it on a inkjet, not quite as fast and crisp like a xerox machine.

Modern printers can print photos without a computer. I like that.
I like this HP because interface are intuitive. Some printers give me wheels to spin and very few buttons like a phone with soft keys.
