10 pages a week? 100?? 500??? Text only or graphics (color) too??? How much do you want to spend? I've been very happy with my HP inkjets, and would not want another Epson...but that's just me.

I recommend a Hewlett-Packard (HP). One reason is because their ink cartridges seem to be less expensive and more readily available than those of other brands of printers.

Depending on how much color you print, you might want to consider a laser printer.

On general principle I refuse to buy HP products though if they have what you want you should find their product satisfactory. A relative of mine has a Brother laser printer that he uses quite sparingly, but it has done the job for him cheaply with no drama and Brother has at least kept up with operating system updates and the like.

THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S QUICK RESPONSE. Maybe 5 copies per week - no graphics - no color - only text. Might be leaning toward Brother. Thanks again.

I love Canon printers. Only one I use. They last forever and never break. Just bought a new one at Staples for $69.00, wireless and does scan and print photos. I was also looking for one that just prints docs but this one came with the whole bundle for a great price. Love it.

BTW, had HP's, Epson and Brothers. I would never go back. Canon is the only one I've never had problems with.

Brother laser B&W printer. Cheap to buy, cheap to operate.

Thank you everyone for your help. I've decided to go with a Brother black and white laser printer at Best Buy for $100.00. HL-L2300D. That was the easy part now I have to decide to try and set it up myself or pay someone to do it.

What's your Operating System? Windows 7, 8/8.1 and 10 will do almost everything for you, you'll only need to plug it in and install the Toner Cartridge. The Manual will guide you thru the whole procedure. Brother HL-L2300D

That Brother machine will almost install itself. :)

Well our Brother arrived this morning and needless to say nothing is easy as we can't seem to install the toner cartridge. Can't even get it in partially. Afraid to break it. Will keep trying.

I have a brother 2540, I was not able to install the cartridge, I took it back to the store and had a clerk install the cartridge.

I dont remember why I had a problem, might have been the cartridge, maybe I didn't remove something

Our problem is solved. Found a video on Brother's web site and it told us how to install the cartridge. We surprised ourselves. Thanks.

I have a cheap Brother laser. I use it for what I call my "junk" printing as the per copy cost to print is reasonable for a cartridge. When the light comes on telling you the cartridge needs to be replaced, pull out the cartridge and see if there is a sensor on the right side. If so, cover it with tape. I did this and got another year from my first cartridge and six months extra from the second one after doing some pretty heavy graphics.

Eventually when the copies become faded and streaked then it will truly be time to replace. I order mine online from Costco.

oceanbaby,

Glad you were able to work thru your problem. BTW, if there isn't any help on the Brother Website, there may be help on YouTube, never hurts to look. Was it a Latch that Locks the tray or cartridge in? My printers are Color Lasers and I have a Tray I have to pull out. They have a Latch that must be lifted up before the tray can be pulled out.
