find out how much the ink cartridges would cost to replace.  for future reference, if you only need a printer for ebay, you can get really, really cheap mono laser printers.

theres an abundance of free printers i can get my hands on...was thinking i could interchange the HP ink cartridges and get more for free

printers are new to me. laser printers? does that mean they dont require ink cartridges?

if so, i might just get hold of one of those

But, the HP Photosmart 2610 Multifunction Network Printer is a doozy, print , scannner, copier, fax ....YO!!

Jo, you won't be able to share the cartridges between the printers - unless you are extremely  lucky! Each model has a slightly different cartridge 😞

Personally, I prefer HPs  - I only ever buy the cheap ones, ( under $40) and usually get at least a couple of good years out of them, printing stuff almost every day.

hi B3, I downloaded the software for it last night - HP Officejet and Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers, and did some reading. came with spare new ink catridges and will simply buy more when required, the machines a beauty.

my office desk will have to re organized and modified, going to make a bottom self for the tower and position the printer inplace, screw in the multi power points at the rear, so all the wiring looks invisible (like a custom engine bay, temporary untill i get a corner desk)

twice i travelled on trappers drive to collect a free item, it made me dla 

well worth the drive

:^O trappers drive for kerbside plundering. Don't forget to dust that chipboard 😄
