"not bad for $50!"
Pros: excellent text print quality
Cons: no output tray
Summary: This printer is great. It has excellent text printing quality (haven't tried photos yet) and is pretty fast. There's no output tray and the paper is pushed out, which might be a problem if you don't plan on putting it on a table. I've got mine on a shelf and plan on rigging up some sort of paper tray.
Set-up is really easy, it comes with a CD and takes about 10 minutes to install the software. It's connected via USB cord (not included).
It is startlingly loud, but all ink-jet printers seem to be.
The design is really simple, just a power button and a stop/resume button.
The interesting thing is the ink cost - a color tank costs $25, a black ink tank is $20, which is about the cost of the printer itself. Both color and black ink tanks are included. Not sure how long they will last, but I guess you could go out and buy a whole new printer instead of replacing the ink!
Overall, it's a great printer. If you need something basic for printing documents (and the occasional photo) this is the one to get.
