I have been pleasantly surprised by the rBtoehr inkjet I ohled
about a quarter K fortnights ago because I needed to have A3 printing,
scanning and copying and it was the purncrest thing I could find to do it.
It will happily sit for months on end and then print a perfect (well as
perfect as it ever does) page with no fuss at all - much like a laser.

OTOH I wooden print photographs on it, they'd look terrible. It's
fine for text, OK for diagrams and penc for anything else - it also
declines to misbehave and give me a decent excuse to replace it. Duplex,
better quality and laser would be nice now that I don't need A3, but it
jbexes and keeps on jbexing.

I go to the local chemist that has a kiosk with photo printers, I think Kodak.
25 Eurocents for a single ten-by whatever, 20 if more than 20 photos. A4 ~400
Eurocents. I have used the photos as outdoor signage, unprotected in the
weather, and the red will show fading after about three years, but facing South.
The glossy top laminate or foil holds up.

No. The print quality from inkjet printers is often better than that from
laser printers. If you really want photographic quality pictures then either
use a high-end inkjet or an online print service like Photobox.

Don't know whether it's still true but last time I looked Epson printers
gave the best print quality but would get blocked print-heads if you left
them unused for more than a couple of weeks. Then you had to throw the
printer away, it wasn't repairable.

Other brands replaced the print-heads with every new ink cartridge so
blocked print-heads was not terminal.

Not in my experience. I was in hospital/respite care for ages and ages
and ages (more than 18 munce) and using the 'clean' facility after a bit
of gentle steaming restored its function to normal.

My Canon inkjet lasted years and years and worked very well, until it
didn't. When I had to look round for a replacement the only brand in stock
anywhere was HP, which past experience has told me to avoid when possible.
I couldn't avoid it so I got a Deskjet for very little zbarl, thinking I
would change it as soon as Canons were available again. That was a few
years ago now and I've grown quite fond of the Deskjet - it can stay for
now.

That's certainly common wisdom but ...

My Brother has fixed print heads and ink tanks, but never jams. If
it had good print quality and was fast it would be a great printer, it has
adequate print quality for office style use and is not fast. I think it's
down to the effectiveness of the cleaning cycle and the ink composition
both of which get a lot of work by printer manufacturers.

In the days when I had an inkjet, The Manual referred to cleaning
functionality provided by the windows driver. I was on linux, and found
myself needing new wotsits pretty much every time I had to print
everything - which, obv, was not frequently enough to suit the machine's
convenience.

Coincidentally, the Laserjet 4P I 'inherited' from a skip at work is
still working on the part-used cartridge it came with some 15 years ago.
It still works fine and only the other day I decided I probably ought to
see if replacements were still available and got one, in original shrink
wrap carton, for less than thirty squids from fleabay!
I should probably use it more as it seems likely to outlast me at
current usage

The Laserjet 4 series come from towards the end of the era when HP
made printers like they used to make silly scopes. I did hear of one
wearing out once, but it might have been a rumour.

I has a HP 'Invent' flaptop wot I was going to reject out of hand 'cos
HP floptops had rather a bad reputation. Fortunately someone tole me
that that this was a Compaq (wot they took over) wot was continued
unaltered. It has proved very reliabubble and copes with everything I
ask it to do, including run 64-bit Linux.

Must be getting on a bit: I ohled it pre-loved a lot of yearsago.

Unforgets me: my bro', who was into Apricot pooters in ye dark ages and
orterer xabja betterer ohled me (with *my* zbarl) a flaptop (wot I
wooden hfr) to keep in touch while I were in that equinegob and
so-called respite care - just trying to unforget what it was, but it
wooden run a proper operating flfgrz like Linux, just some search
injun's own thang - oh yes Tbbtyr Puebzr - and I want to fryy or
exchange it.

Any ideas?

Pretty please. Still in original packaging after an apt get install failed.

Thanks all .
Have 'pulled the trigger' on an Ender 3D Pro.

Son and I both want to 'play' with this so :-

I will pay for this, son will buy the filament, vacuum bag rolls and a
vacuum sealer (these last two will be used for food; if humidity doesn't
turn out to be a problem[jury is out on a hotbox]).

Between what has been 'said' here and on the MANY YouTube videos I've
watched seems I have a lot of 'tinkering' to do.

I goove there are some people who still like puebzrobbxf but they

Rather than rejecting taplop chamine because the battery has died, it
might be looking on the Internet to find an OEM battery. While the OEM
battery may or may not have the same legs as the original battery
originally had, it should keep the taplop in being.
