Buying a Printer Help and Tips

Buying a printer? Whether it is color, black and white, laser, inkjet, or bubblejet, these tips should help in your purchase decisions. One factor you may not have considered when buying a printer is the noise generated by the unit. Printers can be especially noisy when generating a large print job, limiting their potential use in some situations. Heed this warning, else you may find yourself returning to a computer or office supply store in a foul mood. Before you take your printer to the cash register, or before you click the "Buy" button if you are purchasing a printer online, ensure the printer comes with all cables needed to connect to your machine.
Before purchasing a printer, make sure it will fit on your desk, and don't make it so tight that your printer doesn't have a few inches around itself to ventilate (in heavy use, or if you keep your printer on all the time whether you are printing documents or not, your printer can get quite warm). When calculating the printer size requirements, make sure to get dimensions of not just the printer but also all paper trays, paper feeds, and the exit tray.
