Hi, I would recommend a laser printer if you're not doing a lot of printing. The toner in a laser printer does not dry out and a cartridge can last a very long time. I've had a monochrome and color laser printer from Samsung and been very happy with them. I bought my Samsung CLP315 color laser printer nearly four years ago and haven't needed to replace the starter toner cartridge that came with the printer. I would give a Samsung SLM2020w monochrome laser printer a look. They are Mac, PC, Airprint compatible and are wireless as well. They have a small footprint at only 13 inches wide and 8 inches deep. There are no inkjet cartridges to dry out and no nozzles to keep clean. Amazon has them for $61.00 USD.

It’s a shame to hear that they still dry out so quickly. Will have to research this some to see if there is a printer suggestion for those of us who might not print very often.

Ink Cartridges dry out real quick if you don’t use them on a regular basis, and finding a printer that takes a large capacity, easy to change set of cartridges is key for me. Most features are standard on printers unless you get into the high priced range. I have an old HP5150 deskjet printer that’s over 10 years old and I plan to hang onto it as long as I can. It takes a large capacity black ink cartridge that is easy to switch in and out and runs like a tank. Also, I have a reminder set on my iPhone to print out a test page once a week to keep the cartridge jets from drying out.

It can be a little more than fifty unless it does everything I want.

Having to only print out a few things a year I always relied on someone else to get things printed, but now am rethinking that as it is a pain at times. Does anyone know of a printer for under $50 that they have that needs little to no maintenance and is compact. Being that I would not use it very much and I already have a scanner I do not think I need something with all the bells and whistles. Would probably like to be able to connect via bluetooth or my network as the less cables the better.
