[PLUG] my printer is out of ink, recommendations for a new printer?

[Tom Sharples]

My experience with recent vintage HP (and other) inkjet reliability over 
the last several years has been abysmal. Not to mention irritating 
nagware that prompts you - on all your desk and laptops - to buy new ink 
when the old stuff is still fine etc. I finally junked them all and 
bought a Brother MFC-9330 combo laser. Bulletproof, fantastic 
paperfeeder, never gives me grief. A welcome relief from endless dicking 
around with cheap inkjets.
