Printers

Yes, there is a new model called 4200, but they are pretty much alike.
Do not worry about ink cartridges, Canon uses the same for a lot of
different models!

Canon Pixma is the best value for money, and also the ink tanks are among
the cheapest on the market and lasts for a long time.
I have had HP, Epson, Lexmark and Canon. Canon forever hereafter!
My current one is a Pixma IP4000, print borderless and nice photos as
well.

Thanks Terje

This is the one I had picked but it says it's discontinued. Though I don;t
know why that would matter, if I was getting ink and refilling it?

Maybe find a lower price because of this?

The ones I saw online (without specifically looking for deals) were around
$149

When I bought my Lexmark last year, someone told me they bought one for
$129
on sale FROM $149. I ended up getting a new one (with USB cord included)
for
$68 total (with shipping) from an Amazon Seller.

So, it pays to look around.

If you don't get a low price then $30 or something shipping (LOL)

Carrie,
From personal experience with doing a lot of printing - both offset at
my
print shops and now that I'm retired from using inkjets at home for
color
output. From a cost and ease of use standpoint there is no way you can
beat the Canon Pixma series of printers. Very fast and affordable with
excellent print quality. They are quite inexpensive to purchase and
very
low cost to use if you refill the individual ink tanks - a process
that's
not so easy on some brands, but which in the case of Canon printers is
so
simple and easy that anyone can do it. Check out www.nifty-stuff.com
for
any help or advise you may need regarding printing or refilling. You
won't
be sorry.

I know I've asked about printers before, but now am in the process of
getting a business loan to buy new/better stuff.

I'm looking at printers, around $100-150 range (or maybe more, but a
few
years old used?) injet. Something I can refill the cartridges which I
thik
Epson puts a chip in to prevent. (I know, refilled isn't good for
printing
but I do a LOT of practice printing and it works for that)

I was thinking maybe there are printers that work better with
Publisher
(2000) than others?

I now have a Lexmark 5150 All in One (which I know is cheap, but
all
I
could get at the time, and I do find the photocopy- on it's own very
useful
and also the fax. The scanner is a bit small, though). Maybe it's not
true,
but I went though a lot of trying to set up the printer to work with
Publisher settings, so they wouldn't clash. Right now I have figured
out
how
to print notecards, using Publisher settings, and just leaving the
Lexmark
settings default (which is 8X11- whatever paper) and it works, 2 cards
per
page.

I've got a few printers written down that have been recommended or
I've
read about, but now thinking maybe some work better with Publisiher
(the
program) than others? Or, some that are hard to use with it.

Any ideas?

With cameras, up till now, I've thought buying a good (expensive a few
years back) camera for less, used on ebay was the way to go. At least with
the ones I've bought (last 2 Epson- a 650 and 750Z(zoom) it was all I
could
afford. They were 5-6 years old at the time. I suppose buying new is
probably better, for guarantees, etc.

I have a pixma down 3 times (even before I read you recommedning it)
With the Lexmark printer, I learned there is much variation in price (new)
Someone who had recommended it said they bought it at Best Buy for $129 on
sale. I found it on Amazon at many different prices (new and used) and
ended
up buying it NEW (from an Amazon seller) for $68 which included the
shipping. And the seller said if you needed the USB cord for it ($8
elsewhere) he'd throw one in. I had a few of them, but wasn't sure the
ends
were the same (for a printer) so asked for one, and it was different than
the ones I had.

Oh, while I have EXCEL open (I just discovered I can copy/paste from
it)these are teh cameras I have down. No reason other than someone has
mentioned them (sometimes more than once) or I saw the name somewhere. the
numbers (1) after them is number that recommended them (this was in the
spreadsheet) I've been told Canon and Nikon have the best lenses. The
Nikon
CoolPix 8800 I saw several places with pictures that seemed big and clear.
I
haven't even checked the prices on most.

Canon PowershotS215 1
Canon EOS5D
Canon 200
Canon 300D
Nikon Coolpix8800
Panosonic Lumix DMC-F25 1 $460 with extras on ebay (someone said
this)
Panosonic FZ30(230) 1
Panosonic 540 1
Sony DSC-F707 1
Sony 7828 1

Maybe there's a place online that has good prices where I could get the
printer and camera (at the same time, not together like a deal)

Thanks for all the help!

You'll see in another post from Terje that he highly recommends the Canon
Pixma ip4000. I also have that same printer and as he says, it is a fabulous
printer. The only drawback is that it's been replaced by the ip4200/ip5200
series which uses a chipped tank which doesn't restrict refilling, but does
note that you have done so (big deal = not). The ip6600 you mentioned is a
six tank model CMYK PC PM. The ip4000/4200/5200 are 5 tank models which have
CMYK and a larger pigmented black tank for plain paper printing. While it
might seem that the lack of the PC & PM tanks would take its toll on print
quality, I haven't found that to be the case. I've also owned several of the
6 tank models and I really prefer the ip4000 which I now use over any of my
other Canon printers. You can get ip4200's for less than $100 if you shop
around. You also mentioned digital cameras. I've purchased five Olympus
models so far from various sources (three were for gifts, none have broken).
Once again if you shop carefully you can get some great prices on them. Just
like my printers they've come from eBay, Amazon and a few online stores. I
currently use an Olympus c-765 Ultra Zoom which is a great camera and not
very expensive, but if I was willing to spend a few hundred more dollars I'd
get a DSLR Olympus Evolt E-300. It's getting some great reviews. I'm partial
to Olympus, but you won't go wrong with Canon (anyone want to donate a
Digital Rebel to me???) or Nikon models either. They just cost a little
more. If you want some really good printer and camera reviews go to
