Q: Hi. I am writing this on behalf of my dad who is rather "new" to computers, to put it nicely. :) We have an HP PHOTOSMART 7260 and unfortunately it ceases to work any longer. We have tried to repair it (Admittedly by ourselves and without the assistance of HP) and have decided it would be best to purchase a new printer. However, I am unsure as to what printer would be best suited to my dad. He needs to: - print out documents (often of many pages and sometimes larger than A4 - he doesn't really get the "landscape" concept despite many explanations) - print out emails - print out letters That is all. There is no need for a scanner, nor is there need for a photo-picture-perfect etc printer. I would just like a reliable printer that will suit my dads "printing needs". :) However, as he has an HP right now, he would prefer one (doesn't know other brands) but it isn't a problem if there is one more suitable. Thank you in advance for any suggestions, I am very grateful. x Thank you, stu_the_kilted_scot. I am after something very much like that. However, my dad has a desk unit and I just looked up the width and height dimensions of the printer you suggested and it is too big. :( Thank you for your help though! :) Is it possible if I could add an additional function of the printer? It would preferably be less than 25cm high. (Also, I am residing in the UK and I need to be able to purchase the printer from the UK) Thank you in advance. Xxxxxxx
A: THE HP laserjet P2015 is a lovely little printer if he doesn't need colour prints, and from what you posted, he possinly doesn't. To get something "bigger than A4" you are looking at an A3 printer and they ARE expensive, better to persevere and demonstrate the lanscape idea. The 2015 comes in a few flavours, the base model the P2015 The P2015D includes a "duplex unit" for double sided printing, ideal for long documents They also do a P2015N which is network ready (prob not needed) If you got a local store that you can go look at them with your Dad, I'd do that, if you later buy it online for a better price, so be it
