......before I get blinded by science again by the techno-nerds at PC World (which is what happened last week so I escaped to lay down in a darkened room for an hour).
My 15 yr old HP inkjet printer/scanner/copier has finally given up the ghost. In addition I suspect (rightly or wrongly) that the ink cartridges dry out long before they have been used up. Is this a true assumption?
Do laser cartridges dry out over time?
I use it for single-sided one-off printing B&W and colour A4 documents from my laptop - maybe 6 pages a month max.
Scanning and photocopying A4 pages and scanning album paper photographs once in a blue moon.
I know that laser printers are more expensive than inkjet ones but I'm told that replacement laser cartridges are cheaper.
The initial cost is not critical as hopefully a new one would last maybe ten years but I'd hope to get something suitable for less than say, £150.
I could take the docs on a memory stick to a local stationery shop to be printed but it's inconvenient.
