Printer/Scanner

Hi  Milar Electrical staff speak good English and could advise you on what you need and what cost, they have a store opposite Iceland in Torrevieja,  tel number for their punta prima store is  966798668,  they can also deliver at an additional cost (stores are closed but they are answering calls in the mornings)

Hi Peter, just a couple of points:

To follow on from the comments by Grahame, if you use Google Chrome to view Amazon ES, just right-click anywhere on the page and select the option to translate.

If you only want high quality ink, then ignore this. But if you want cheap ink, which is perfectly OK for all but photo quality printing, make sure that compatible cartridges are available for the printer you're considering, and check reviews to see if the HP software makes it difficult to use them.

If you choose an instant ink option with an H.P. printer, then, depending on the number of pages you use each month, they send out ink cartridges as and when needed, either free, or much cheaper than normal.

The reason Amazon.co.uk will not deliver to Spain is that the plug on the end of the lead supplied is different from those used in Spain, and they presumably don't wish to be held liable for any accident resulting from the plug being changed.

If I may add to the excellent advice already offered...

Some time ago I had a need for a printer, scanner, fax (fax - remember those!) and I sourced a 'cheap' brother, ink, all in one device. It was easy to unpack and set up, worked straight out of the box and I did all my scanning I needed (Old photos!)

About a month later I needed to print a photo and thought I would use the device to print. It was out of ink! 

One of two issues had occurred according to the supplier, who took it back and gave me a full refund incidentally. It had either dried up which is VERY common with an inkjet printer if you do not use it regularly (define regularly?!) or, alternatively, the printer has a built in self clean function, which it goes through periodically and obviously uses some ink. I think it was more likely the former than the latter issue I experienced.

I do not own an inkjet printer anymore, it has been some time since I did. 

I started looking into LaserJet printers. OUCH, was my first thought for my wallet! Colour, duplex, laserjet... will cost a fortune?! About 180 quid was the response from the supplier, who I highly recommend! https://www.printerland.co.uk/ (Not sure if they ship to Spain, I was in UK when I made my purchase and Matthew was excellent. Fantastic guidance, not trying to upsell to me or point me in the direction of a specific brand or model 'on offer' etc.)

Anyway my point is this. In my experience, the printer I bought about 6 years ago is still going on the original laser cartridges that came with the printer. I bought an A4, duplex, full colour, network laser printer, a lexmark CS510de (if that helps) and I am more than happy with it.

Ah, but it doesn't scan? No, it doesn't, BUT - I use a couple of apps on my mobile phone for scanning. Office Lens or Adobe Scan - both free to download and use (I am a tight northerner!) and the software will 'crop and straighten' scanned documents and with modern phone camera lenses you will struggle to notice the difference between this 'scan and print' method compared to the traditional method.

So my advice to you, IF the budget allows (look at the longer term for ink costs etc) I would highly recommend you go down a colour laserjet route.

Just so you also know, I print roughly 100-200 pages per month, very rarely a full page of colour (such as a photo) but very often I do print a lot of my business documents in colour.

Hope it helps
