Currently have HP Inktank wireless 410 but have had nothing but problems with it. So now looking for new printer and thinking as I only print about 200 pages per year that maybe cartridge printer is the way to go.

My budget is a max of 10,000 Baht, any recommendations?

Do you need to print in colour?

If not, given the low number of pages per year that you print, I would suggest a monochrome laser printer as there are no fluids/nozzles to get blocked due to lack of use as there are with inkjets.

I think laser is better for infrequent use. 

 

I have a Brother DCP L3551CDW color copy, print & scan, and it's been great, but about $16,500

Did you not read that the OP's budget is under 10,000Baht?

That's why I qualified it by including the price. I agree with you, monochrome laser would be better for him, but I do not have one to recommend. 

 

I had a tank printer before the DCP L3551CDW and nothing but problems.

Sorry!

I agree as I have not included a model in my response as mine is probably no longer manufactured!

I have three printers - all canon with cartridges.

 

My accountant does a lot of printing, so I originally bought one with ink tanks (Canon again).

Nothing but trouble.

I only print about 6 pages a day max on both of my printers. Now and again, I will print a 'Welcome folder' - about 12 pages.

 

The three canon printers have been golden. E470's. With a scan option. Perfect for casual printing. Even the 'paper wasting' accountant loves the reliability.

They are clunky and not ultra quick but easy to install and only 3,000 baht.

Before these, I had a Canon MX366 with a scanner and fax options. Had it for about 12 years. No problems. Sadly, Windows 11 does not support it and so it is sitting there unloved, looking for a new home.

I should have added that although the initial purchase price of a Laser will be greater than that of an inkjet, over the years it will be more economical and reliable.

Yes need colour, also scan and copy

Colour inkjets are less expensive than colour Lasers.

What percentage is colour? would using home monochrome for the majority and an Internet cafe for colour work out?

5 baht a page (color is more) at the local Kodak shop. And when you get to know the owner you can email him the docs to print. So your 200 pages per year costs 1000 baht. No cartridge issues, no paper issues, no space issues on your desk.

 

I surely don't understand why anyone needs a printer at their house.

I don't understand why anyone needs a washing machine, hot water or a woman at their house, but it is what it is.

Convenience, you still need to go to the shop to pick up your prints!

Canon Ip 2700, more than 10 years and no problem.

 

Doubt if a 10 year old printer is still available or that I'd even want one

It's an ink tank, which is what I don't want.

Print one sheet per week and it'll keep the nozzles clear.

With so little to print over the year look around for a place that does photocopying and printing. Each page will cost a few baht. Less convenient than having your own printer but that would save you 9000+ baht of your budget.

Did you mean you want laser or ink cartridges? 

 

Color laser all-in-one might be tough. 

 

Unless I wanted to do photos I would not have another inkjet.

After multiple issues with both Canon and HP printers, I bought a Brother DCP-T520W Tank fill - all in one - print and scan. Had it 10 months now and its had lots of use, and no issues so far. Banana IT about 5,400 Baht …. think it would be more than sufficient for your usage, and very good quality printing.

I bought this model from Banana IT in Hua Hin; and despite their assurances, it does not recognise Apple AirPrint. I use an iMac and MacBook air, and they subsequently accepted that it didn’t work with AirPrint and let me pay the difference and exchange for the  DCP-T520W

 

I’m sure this is a good choice if you don’t need AirPrint connection.

Being a PC man, I assume AirPrint is the WiFi connection.
