Need a printer
Hey guys i need a reccomendation for a new printer. Our HP (3 yo model) crapped out and all im running now is a monochrome lexmark laser printer. Ive got a 50pgs+ for a huge report (including over 100images) due tuesday and need a printer that wont cost too much for ink (ie like 40bucks for a black and 60 for color which was what our old one was) and it must be a all in one (can be either inkjet bublejet wtfjet or laser dont matter) and it must be color.
Also my budget for it is anywhere from 0-300 cad and it must be easily purchaseable from staples, bestbuy, futureshop or any retailer that carries the model in Edmonton. thanks guys

In my opinion he best for the money is the Kodak 5100 All-in-One 5100
Its the best printer I have ever used...The ink tanks are huge and it only costs $25 to replace both Colour and Black tanks.
Has its own 4" x 6" photo tray and prints the best pics out of any printer I have owned...HP/2 Epsons/3 Lexmarks/2 Cannons.
For $ 100 bucks You will not be disappionted.
They were on sale at Wal-Mart for $69 a few weeks ago

Had mine since March of 2008...The only prob I had was when I first got it...I didn't update the firmware..but after that no probs.
And my daughter uses it 2-3 times a week for school.
I think it is best printer I've owned...very solid construction compared to others
