- I have been using HP Deskjet 500 for two years now and had no problem
- with it. The quality of print and ease of use are great, but I suggest
- that you go for a laser printer. I don't like the ink catridge system
- of the printer very much; I can only print about 200 (two hundred) pages
- for each ink catridge and it cost about $20.00 to $30.00 for each
- catridge. You might better off with a laser; it's much more expansive,
- but you don't have to spend lots of money on ink. As I see the toner
- for laser would print about 2000-3000 pages with the cost under $100.00.
- You will save more in the long run.
