It seemed like a great deal at $400.

but if you just need a simple printer the Xerox 3020 is a better deal

If the quality of those printers is as good as this one, I suspect they'd be a very good deal, too.

We have always used remanufactured cartridges with no issues, but the first cartridge we put in after the mini-cartridge that came with it ran out is still printing as crisp and dark as when we first put it in.
