Trying to connect our wireless HP printer to EE! It won’t work.

Living where I do, a few miles west of Taunton, I'm only around 10 minutes drive from Choice Stationary and their cartridges work perfectly in my Canon printer.

No doubt most of these third party ink supplies work absolutely fine.

My older out of warranty Canon printer, to be sold eventually. Worked mostly OK with third party inkjets. I usually listen to comments from other customers, if the health check is good, I'll go ahead and order.

The only proviso, I won't risk using third party supplies on my new printer, don't want to invalidate the warranty.

Apologies for me going slightly off the subject but I only wish they can make colour laser printers to the same quality of the finest inkjets, apart from Dye-sublimation printing which are costly, inkjets provide the best results for photography. The realism and resolution is the highest compared to other alternatives.

I have a Brother mono laser I use exclusively for documents and office work. Inkjets quality for printing black and white documents are inferior to lasers and very slow, they're a bit rubbish for productivity and costs much higher than toner replacements and less value.
I use third party toners, they work fine! 🙂

Took my last printer to the local tip about ten years ago.. Wouldn't have one in the house these days....

On the very seldom occasion I need to print something (and i genuinely can't recall the last time that was) I'd go to the local community space/library or do it at work

Yes, that’s what I have worked out, do I actually need a printer anymore…

Minimal usage, but I need it for work, and the odd letter of complaint - works so much better than email!

Most things these days can be done digitally.

It's always good to have one on standby, I always print out my airport boarding passes, just in case the scanner at the gate fails to scan the bar code on my mobile.
