In the market we can find a large number of models and types of printers, from multifunction to models that only print. We can also find models that work with cartridges, liquid ink and included with tonic. When buying a printer, it is necessary to analyze first of all what our needs are in order to avoid problems in the future.
The usual problems are related to models that use cartridges since, if we do not use them for a while, they end up drying out over time. This in turn represents an additional problem if we are not willing to pay the exorbitant prices of the original cartridgesa price that is generally double what can be found in compatible cartridges.
Some manufacturers, in particular HPcontinually works to ensure that users only use original cartridges, updating the firmware of its most modern models so that they recognize cartridges that do not belong to them. In fact, the most recent models include, in small print, that the printers only work with original cartridges.
With this in mind, it is clear that the first thing to do is to rule out HP as a printer manufacturer, unless we are willing to pay the price of its cartridges and it is not exactly cheap as we have commented in these lines.
Besides, there is no point in buying one. old printer Since most have Wi-Fi connectivity, they connect to the router and can be updated to add this limitation.
