I am dying to print coupons. There are so many good ones I have to just pass up because I do not have a printer.

Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on a printer???

The cheaper the better!! Thanks!

I bought a HP desktop printer at Walmart about a month ago.
I had a Lexmark printer and it would not print out the coupons.
So I was desperate to print these coupons out and went and purchased a new printer. I believe I paid $30.00 for the HP printer.
Plus the ink cartridges are cheaper for the HP printer than the Lexmark printers.
Hopefully you can find this printer at your local Walmart.
P.S. It's called HP Deskjet D1520.

Just remember you get what you pay for. I personally will never buy another HP/Lexmark.

I have had 3 of those various printers in 4 years and each one of them have ended up in printer cemetary (a.k.a. the top shelf in my garage).

I invested a little more in a Canon Pixma MX310 over a year ago and it has been worth every penny. I've not even had a paper jam yet!

Just bought one of the new HP's with the new 500 series ink cartridges that cost far less. I recommend looking at these newer models, Kodak makes one too, that are working towards more economical ink cartridges.

The one I bought was $200 retail but with coupons and rewards at Staples it came to $93 with free delivery.

That is a LOT of money, for me anyway...

I just need it to print coupons. I found one at walmart for 25$ that I think I will get, lol.

I expect the printer I bought to last at least three years. As a previous poster stated, some printers are not worth the box they are packed inside. It irks me to no-end when a printer goes belly-up before it is 6 months old.

The model for $25 you are looking at, ask around to see how others feel about the same model.

I have the same printer as Cori does & I really like mine. Also got it at WM.

My neighbor gave me mine. Have you asked on freecycle or Craigslist? If it is out of printers ink you can have it refilled at Walgreens this week and get the(sale) price of $7.50 back with the EasySaver Rebate Program.

My Son has the $25 one from WM and he is happy w/it.

I have a dell one... I've had it for maybe a year. It cost me I think $60 or maybe it was $80? I dont know. But I'm glad I didnt get a really cheap one because then I ended up printing more than coupons. My only problem is with the ink though. It wastes so fast.
