I have to buy a new printer mine died what is the best printer for the money and ink refills

We've actually had reasonably good luck re-filling our (latest) Lexmark. And they're usually about as cheap as you can get . . . However, to read about all our Lexmark experiences go to www.lexmarked.com (The fact that my husband has such a website tells you that our experiences haven't all be positive ) Avoid Espon if you want to do refills because they don't have a new print head with each cartridge. (Basically if you mess up your refill you ruin your printer, not just your printer cartridge.)

Oh, I forgot to add that if your printer cartridge that comes with the printer doesn't work or doesn't work for long (I think this happens A LOT) be sure to ask the company for a new one. That way you have two to be refilling instead of just one.

Okay, I don't want Skipper relying on just my advice (esp. considering I'm not sure I buy my own advice). What does everybody else think?

I have an Epson, and I love it. But I learned the hard way about 'discount' inks. With Epson, you have to buy Epson ink or the printer will be destroyed. Epson ink is very expensive. Luckily, I don't print much.

I typed 'Printer Ratings' into google and found PC World's ratings on their top 10 printers. Maybe that will help?? (Not sure if I should post a link here or not.)

Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.

I have a Dell All-in-one Printer and I bought it a couple of months on eBay and the ink had been used and I still have not refilled the ink yet LOL.

One of the freebie people (Kimmie I think ) posted a bunch of Lexmark rebates in the freebies section. You might want to check these out. (DH also comments on the joys of Lexmark rebates at www.lexmarked.com . . ."Proof of purchase?" "What proof of purchase?" . . .)
