Question Request Printer Advice

[EdPell]

Dell XPS8700, WIN 7, HP6980dt printer.

My printer is running out of ink and I need to buy some questionable, out of date, dried up overpriced cartridges or buy a new printer, which will probably not have drivers for Win7.

Although I rarely use the printer, I still want to have the ability to print at times. Wireless is nice to have, but for the number of times I use the printer, I can easily string a USB cable 15 feet to my PC.

I don't need an all-in-one. I don't do faxes, don't need to make multiple copies, and already have a good scanner.

I see that some printers require a smartphone for installation or make installation difficult without one. I don't have a smartphone and don't plan to buy one until I need one for more than this single purpose.

Any advice on how I can solve my print problem?

Thanks
Edp

I am seeing "off brand/refurb" ink cartridges under $20 readily in a very quick search of your model. It appears the tri-color is cheaper than the black at sub $10-ish.

We utilize a store off Amazon for all the ink we need on our Brother units. "Linkyo" They have worked very well for us.

Check around your local office supply stores. If you don't print very often, they may have printing capabilities for just a few pennies per page.
