Hi All,

Windows 10, Home build 1803

I have an customer with a broken HP 4655 inkjet printer:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product...ment/c04704159


Now that it is broken, she wants a replacement.Â* She was unhappy
with the way it printed pictures anyway, so is glad to see it go.

It needs to be around 17.5" wide and 13.5" deep to fit on
her shelf.

Oh and she is funded and not cheap!Â* Yippee!Â* I can get her some
thing nice.

She also wants to fax and scan

Many thanks,

Follow up.Â* I went with the Brother MFC-J680DW:

Â*Â*Â* print, copy, scan, fax.
Â*Â*Â* paper tray (it is small, but this is a home)
Â*Â*Â* very compact
Â*Â*Â* prints pretty pictures on best to plain paper
Â*Â*Â* no issues printing rich graphics over wireless
Â*Â*Â* Normal print spits a page out in about 5 seconds
Â*Â*Â* Auto Doc feeder fits about 12 pages
Â*Â*Â* easy to use front panel control that are very intuitive
Â*Â*Â* usb, wireless, wired

and the feature both of adore the most.Â* *The cartridges
are change from the front*.Â* No digging around the guts
to try to find them.Â* And the cartridges are large too.
Very, very easy to change the cartridges.

runs in the $150 range.

Customer is tickled and so am I.Â* I would own this
unit myself, although I'd look for a step up with a
larger paper tray.

Thank you for all the help and tips!

And automatic duplex printing as well! Wish I were in the market
for a new machine...

When my wife saw the front loading cartridges, she remarked that
when thoughtful things like that are done, other thoughtful things
are also part of the design as well.

But it is twice a expensive as its competitors that blow through
ink, won't print picture properly over the wireless, take an
auto mechanic to change a print cartridge, etc..Â* You pay for
what you get.

In my business, I can not sell junk: that is what we have costco
and best buy for.Â* I have to stand behind what I sell.Â* So, I will
not sell any el-cheap-o, shave no expense parts.Â*Â* You want cheap
s***, there are a millions of other folks out there that will
gladly oblige you.

I adored this printer.Â* And the lady I sold it to is in her 80's
and was able to install the print cartridges.

I figure out how to install the first cartridge, then I teach
and have the customer install the rest.Â* Apparently, I am the
only one that does that.Â* Go figure...Â* (I am full service.)


Hi T, I don't find it very expensive, $87.98 at Amazon.ca, Looks like
a good machine at a good price.

Rene

New or used?

Oh it is not expensive in my opinion.Â* Its competitors are $20
cheaper.

Sometimes folks only see the purchase price and not the cost
of ownership or the functionality of the device.Â* This is
a disease I call CABDs (cheap assed buzzard disease).Â* (The
"B" might not stand for "buzzard".)

You pay for what you get.Â* And I have to stand by what I sell.




Brand new.
Â*Seems cheaper than US price, wonder why!
The cost of Ink is the most expensive price of the printer.
Yes, if you are selling to customers you have to choose wisely and give
them the best product at a reasonable price and yet make a descent profit.

Printers are typically sold at a loss and don't make a profit
until after the second replacement round of ink is purchased.
Hp is notorious for this and sues anyone who tries to knock
off their cartridges. They also make their cartridges so
that if you refill them, they fill spill all over your printer.
