Hi I’m looking into buying a new printer. I had an Epson l3160 inkjet for the last 3 years. That died so I’m looking into getting a laser printer. The 2 options are: Xerox C235 and Brother MFC L3720 CDW

My BIL suggested the Xerox since he’s had one for the last 16 years and hasn’t had any problems with it. But the brother has more readily available and cheaper toner cartridges.

Some information: it’ll be used mostly for regular home printing/scanning. I will use it for work but usually no more than 10 pages a month. The exception being August to October where I print a lot more.

Mostly, I’m looking for reliability. Any advice would be appreciated thank you 😊.

My beloved HP 5660 is giving up the ghost I don't print much under ten pages a month with most months printing nothing. I keep seeing terrible reviews on the HP Smart Tanks and was looking at the Epson 4950 refurbished on their website for $249 with a one year warranty. I would appreciate any advice on this printer or suggestions for another model.

What would you like to troubleshoot?

Not sure if this fits in here, as it is about the scan feature of a printer.

Scan to mail stopped working a few days ago. The reason seems to be that the SMTP server I try to connect to (a well known public provider) updated their certificates.

Disabling certificate check would be an option, however this would be last resort, and may not be acceptable.

Minimum Requirements:

• Printer Model: HP OfficeJet Pro 9010 series
• Error Message: (1) Protocol not supported. Check your network configurations and try again. (2) Invalid password input. Try again.
• Ethernet Cable, WiFi or USB: not relevant, WiFi
• Driver name and version:
• Firmware Version: latest, MANHTNPP1N002.2623A.00
• OS: not relevant, Fedora
• # of machines impacted: 1
• # of users impacted: 1
• Original or 3rd party cartridges: not relevant, original

Any other details:

The relevant root CA certificate did not change. However I tried to upload the intermediate certificate (Lets Encrypt YE), such that the chain would be: EE ← YE1 ← Root YE (tried) ← ISRG Root X2 ← ISRG Root X1 (Default)

This does not work however, and gives the error (2) reported above. The YE certificate is ECDSA, and it seems that RSA certificates can be uploaded without any issue.

Does anybody know if ECDSA certificates are supported by HP Printers, and how could I install the certificate by other means than via the EWS?

Hey guys, I work for a company that needs to be able to produce our own labels for metal tins. We have an Epson c6000, Epson c6500 and Epson c8000. The c6000 has MK black ink, the c6500 has BK black ink and the c8000 has BK black ink. We have been outsourcing the labels for the metal tins and its a pain cause we have to wait around when we run out. My boss specifically wants a label that is basically a vinyl sticker. The printers we have are typically just used for paper labels but I am pretty sure at least one of these is capable of printing vinyl stickers but anytime I've ever tried, the ink isn't stable and really mute/faded. What am I getting wrong? I am not very knowledgeable on printers in general so I am learning as I go working here.

Am from Bengaluru (India) Could u please suggest A3+ inktank photo printers for my upcoming startup along with buying links especially to print big posters

I got the hardware set up. It was 2nd hand got it for ~2000. No software included. What software and drivers do I need to run it? The website is relatively useless.

Thank you

Nothing fancy just something that can print.

That said as the title says haven't had a printer in decades, so to say I know jack squat about new printers is an understatement, The only thing I know is that printer ink prices are apparently insane and you tend to get ripped off on that along with a lot of it being proprietary, and something about subscriptions and how they can screw you over.

I want non of that, maybe if possible something refillable and something that wont lock me in to buying specific proprietary products, DEFINITELY nothing that involves subscriptions, any recommendations would be great, thank you for your time!

Hello guys, I'm looking to buy a monochrome laser printer for printing documents. My requirements:

1. Wifi printing with lesser connectivity issues

2. Duplex printing

3. Good print quality.

4. Lesser paper jams.

My office has a dedicated scanner so I dont want a MFP. Just a simple, efficient and fast printer is what im looking at. We have 2 brother printers and im tired of the paper jams and wifi drop issues.

I was looking at hp 303dw but im advised hp has toner refilling issues. I've seen some cannon printers but they have print quality issues.....please advise if I should take this hp or try something in some other company.

Hello! I am a teenage girl who spent her saved up money on a canon mg3620 printer this summer. As of a week ago, it won't let me print anything, and constantly flashes the warning like light, and the monochrome/colorful lights signaling it's out of ink, but it's not! how can I fix this??

I don't have it hooked up to a computer, just the canon print app, if this helps

I just recently bought a HP printer: HP smart tank 525. The main problem is that I am unable to download the printer driver to print in that print.

I'm a teacher and my HP printer just died as the school year is about to begin. I use my printer to print mostly in black and white and make two sided copies. I rarely print photos or anything fancy- just worksheets, reports, and simple written documents. I'm looking for something that is cost effective but I can rely on. I've been looking at Brothers or Epsons. Do I need an inkjet or an inktank? Please help!

Note: Yes, I have my own personal printer for my work. Yes, I pay for it out of pocket. If you've ever been a US teacher, you know how messed up the copy room can get with jams and copying limits.

Alright so I've been looking for a printer to start printing on some CDs and DVDs, but I also want to avoid dealing with the annoying DRM of ink that seems to come with most printers (so it seems like ink tank printers are what i want? though I've also heard that some printers have refillable cartridge kits? I'm fairly new to this). I also have a pretty tight budget, but I can wait and save for something more expensive if its really my only option.

What types of things should I look for to get something around the $100-200 price range, assuming that even exists? (I'd love to get something from a smaller company or something that supports open printing/DRM-free printing if that exists, but overall, I just want to be able to print on discs and not worry about ink.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: It seems like im either looking at lightscribe or more likely, the epson expression xp-6100. I'm going to deliberate for a bit, but i might be going the epson route, solely so i can also get something to print label stickers for my computers, and also possibly disc case art. tysm for all the help

I’m looking to buy a photo printer mainly for printing high-quality photos at home. I’d like something with good color accuracy, decent print quality, and reasonable running costs.

What photo printer would you recommend, and why? Also, are there any models I should avoid?

Would love to hear about your personal experiences, especially with ink cost, print quality, and long-term reliability.

I’ve got a Canon TR8550 all-in-one inkjet printer. It’s been a good little printer and I’ve had it since 2018.

The thing is…..I print maybe twice a year tops, at most, these days. I just do t have reason to print much anymore.

I’ve been thinking about getting rid of it to e-waste and just not messing with having a printer anymore. Do you guys think that’s worth it? Or is there a good “light duty” printer to recommend for sparse printing users like me?

Otherwise, I’d thought about just going to my local library to print the rare things I need.

Hi All,

Not sure if someone can help but. My client has Xerox C625, they had to use another printer while waiting on the supplies, they shut down that Xerox. When they plugged everything back, fax quit working.

There is a RJ 11 cable coming out from wall, it splits into 2 female jaks, one goes to the machine (fax line), one seats unplugged. I think the 2^(nd) RJ 11 is from their legacy analog telephone that they no longer use.

Anyway, I’ve tried both wires. When I plug that 2^(nd) free RJ 11, the printer complains about fax communication error on the dashboard, but when I plug what I think is the fax line, error goes away but still no fax.

I called their ISP (fax provider), they don’t see any issue on their end, I’ve rebooted everything else along the lines.

My last resort is calling a cable tech to check the wires regardless.

But if anyone can suggest something else!?

Thank you.
