We are looking for a new printer/all-in-one and are thinking about this:
Costco - $89.99 After Rebates Brother MFC-5460cn Color Multi-Function Inkjet Printer
We don't print much at all, maybe a few times a month. I really would like an all-in-one since I had this grandiose vision of scanning it a lot of the paper documents and making an electronic off-site backup. I also would like to make the occasional copy of something, so a flat-bed copier would be nice. We would never need to print photos on this since we just take it to Costco, so no urgent need for color. And, I love that this can be networked directly without a print-server.
So, the only thing that makes me nervous is since we print so infrequently, I'm worried about the cartridges drying out. Is this still a common occurrence? I know that some inkjets refuse to work if one of the colors run out (or dryout) and this would piss me off. I guess a black and white laser all-in-one is probably the best choice, but they all seem to be several times the cost of this printer.
Any advice? Thanks.
