    Hey all,

    I need to get a printer. I have a coupon at the moment to use at the Dell website, and I am interested in the V305 (dell) multi-function printer.

    Has anyone owned a Dell printer? Are they any good? I hate shopping for printers but I am looking for decent speed, but I would be primarily interested in low toner cost and reliability. Definately wouldn't mind having copy / scan features also. That is a selling point to me on the V305. That and, with a coupon, I would be getting the thing for about 25 bucks!

    Bump this to the top. Surely someone knows a thing or two about printers.

    I went on to newegg and snagged an HP laserjet p1005. Only 65 bucks or so compared to the usual 130! Had a combo deal for a 1700 page laser toner so . . . how can you really top that? I will probably snag a copier / scanner later on. Thanks anyway!
