They make those evil things that always jam, photocopiers.

I suppose it was my own fault for working in an office where it was about 95% female!

Only on expensive printers, usually industrial ones.

In fact, I used to work with a Xerox printer costing tens of thousands of pounds, and even that only printed one side at a time.

'Consumer' printers print one side, pass the paper back through and print the other side.

Both sides at the same time?

Thanks. Probably does come with starter ink. A laser printer I brought came 1/3 full.

Cong_Man, ain't got a spare Usb cable (its not that hard to change them over) but someone I know reckons his local Poundland sells em' :)

Indeed they do, although if you haven't got a USB A to B cable, you'll need to invest in one of those, as 98% of printers don't come with a USB cable. Having said that, if you're anything like me, you probably have a dozen spare anywhoo.

InkJets tend to split the colour cartride up these days - apparently it saves us money (since we only buy the colours that have run out) - but I reckon its saving the printer companies far more.

All the printers I have have (including a ten quid colour inkjet I picked up from Dell) come with either free cartridges or starter ink (cut size ink carts) - so you should be fine

You may want to try some other sites (e.g. ebuyer) for generic carts - for epson and canon machines generic carts come in at 3-4 quid each (I've seen them as cheap as 99p before)

btw Duplex printing means printing on both sides of a page, or double-sided printing.

:P

6?! What Printer is it? Surely it only needs 1 B&W and 1 Colour...?

Thanks. I was a tad concerned cos the printer I'm after has 6 cartridges and it'll be about £40 straight away if they didn't come with
