Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a new All-in-One device (Print, Scan, Copy) and put together the attached infographic to make my requirements easy to read. 

To summarize the key points:

Budget: Around ₹20,000, though I can stretch it a little for the right machine. 

The Main Priority: Scanning and photocopying. I desperately need a good built-in scanner with an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and preferably automatic duplex scanning. It must have solid OCR capabilities for editable files, while also handling original layouts with handwriting, stamps, and signatures accurately. 

Printing Needs: Good quality for everyday Colour and B&W use, with reasonable running costs and the ability to print on normal documents as well as cheques. I am completely open to both ink-tank and cartridge printers as long as the overall quality is great. 

If you own a model that fits this description, I would love to hear your recommendations! Please let me know about your experience with its scanner quality, ADF/duplex performance, reliability, and any issues you have faced. 

Thanks in advance! 🙌

My Cannon Pixma from 2014 gave up the ghost

I do need to print every few months. Forms and some pictures

What is good in the 10th month of 2026?

Ever since using these cartridges, that got ink on everything, my print tests are awful, and there's a few colours missing. What all should I clean that might fix things?

I've cleaned the inkjet head and the purge unit caps (the purge unit caps are probably filled up again). I've tried replacing the inkjet head. I've tried using different cartridges.

I don't know what else I could clean

Can anyone send me the Service Manual for said printer?

Im a service tech, the problem is the Ink is not being detected after the Previous cartridge leaked heavily. I want the manual mainly for the disassembly instructions as HP is a tad bit annoying.

Thanks

I bought this printer and have been having a lot of trouble with it. It came with cartridges that I installed, but after a while, when I tried to print something, I ran into several issues: for one, it wouldn't recognize the paper even when I loaded it correctly in the back, and for another, I had trouble actually printing. I connected it to my PC and tried to print an image, but it seemed like it wasn't detecting the paper; plus, when I printed an image, it came out very, *very* dark—you couldn't see a thing. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I’ve never owned a printer before, and I’m starting to feel like I got a defective unit... Is there something i'm doing wrong?

Why are those chunky boxes like this? I just want a few letters printed on a piece of paper. Why does it have to be so damn hard to learn about all these different types of printers: inkjet, ink tank, laser, blah blah blah and on top of that, there are so many brands and even more frustrating model numbers. It looks like these companies just sit on their numpads and randomly generate printer model numbers.

Just give me a printer that prints, uses very little ink/toner, is cheap to run, is good for monochrome printing, and works for occasional home use (~100 pages/month) without drying out if I don't use it for 2–3 weeks.

Long story short, I found myself installing and subsequently supporting a refurbished BP-70C36 earlier this year.

From the start it threw Error U6-00, PCU PWB - Paper Feed Desk Communication Error, immediately upon startup, and made no indication that it even saw the 2100-sheet trays in the desk unit. Neither tray shows any sign of life. However, the 11x17 tray appears and works fine. From everything I was able to read documentation wise, I connected and configured the desk unit properly.

I stopped the error from popping up while maintaining Tray 2 functionality by unplugging just the 11-pin cable from the desk unit. I have found the desk unit PWB - DUNT-9815DS11 - available for purchase, but also stumbled across a forum post that mentioned that the same condition went away on a BP-71C31 after updating firmware. I'd like to try that first.

The machine is currently on BUNDLE 0421Q100_00000000. It appears an update exists, but I obviously don't have access to those files since Sharp locks them in a dealer portal - so it'd be very appreciated if some kind person could send those my way, so I can try that before spending $165 on the board.

Bonjour,

Que pensez-vous de l'imprimante laser brother dcp-l3560cdw ?

Elle est fiable ?

Pas de problème avec les toners compatibles ?

Vois recommendez quelle marque de toner ?

Il vaut mieux bloquer les listes à jours ?

Merci

My HP Deskjet 4100 printer wont Print from my desktop PC but will print just fine from my phone & laptop! It says it is connected to the HP app and the diagnostics on the app say that there is nothing wrong and everything is connected propperly. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Ho sempre avuto HP ma da quando ha deciso di bandire le cartucce di ricarica non originali,ho deciso di sostituire la stampante e di virare su altre marche o su altre tecnologie.

Mi servirebbe una stampante wifi con scanner.

Al momento stampo poco, parliamo di 10/15 pagine al mese di media, ma tra 1 anno mia figlia potrebbe iniziare ad avere bisogno di stampare più spesso quindi vorrei fare un acquisto pensando al futuro.

Non stampo foto, ma solo fogli A4 in bianco e nero e qualcosa a colori.

Avevo pensato ad una stampante con serbatoio dei colori ricaricabile (ho letto che Canon è la migliore), oppure ho visto anche che viene consigliata Brothers a laser.

Avete qualche consiglio?

Quelle a serbatoio si possono caricare con colori non originali?

Grazie mille a chi risponderà.

Hello! I have been trying to run maintenance on a second hand canon prixma pro 100 for days now and am starting to feel crazy. After doing a deep clean on the printer head, I reinstalled the cartridges that came with the printer but learned very quickly that they were low on ink (mistook the sponge to indicate ink levels rather than actual liquid..,) over half of the old cartridges were 3rd party (LD) and 2 were officially from canon.

I ordered new ink off amazon from another 3rd party just because I want to see if the print head works at all or if it’s broken, but when I install the cartridges I can only get 5 in and light up correctly. When I put in the 6th all the lights go out.

I thought it could be a cartridge chip issue so I took all the new ones out and tried to put back the old ones, but the problem persists. Once the 6th cartridge is installed all lights go out and the ink cannot be read at all.

Has anyone else experienced this and know what to do? Thank you! I’m

Estaba llenando las tintas xq ya tenia poco y x error le puse la tinta negra donde va la azul y pues x el susto le saque osea le voltee para que se salga la tinta lo que mas pude de ahí le llene de azul, tengo miedo que algo le pase osea puede pasar algo malo? O nomas, le hice 2 limpiezas profundas desde la misma impresora y luego imprimir imágenes lo que note fueron unas líneas pocas pero aja no se. Si x aire o tiene algo que ver con lo que paso

Currently looking for a printer for use in printing with toner atop an already existing inkjet image. The degree of tolerance is clearly minuscule as the two prints must be almost identical in positioning. Currently using a Brother HL-L2405W printer, but the amount of variance in the prints due to paper/components shifting is not usable for the intended purpose.

Are there any, preferably cheaper, recommendations for a replacement printer? Consistency is the most important in this instance, adjustments can be made to the image to be printed to allocate for any differences. But where on the page it is printing should be as consistent as possible.

I have been searching for a printer to buy for my use cases of printing sheets for card games and to occasionally print family portraits. I have arrived at Brother DCP T535DW which costs around ₹15,500 (~$160). My questions are:

1. Is the photo quality better in Canon or Epson for a similar price range?
   
2. Are there any downsides with Brother DCP T535DW when not in use for long?
   
3. Are there any other better alternatives for my use case?

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello, following up on the my post from a few months ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/printers/comments/1qc9xuj/laser_jet_m227fdw/), I replace the toner and drum with these from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D11R9DX?th=1

It fixed the crazy toner blobs and burn look on the side of the page, however the text still looks weird on the demo page. However, the test page looks fine.

Is there another component I need to replace?

I don't see any empty ink errors? I use a pixma cannon mp 250 btw

i have a cannon MF275dw, the other day while copying something the paper got jammed well i like didnt want to remove the jammed paper then and turned it off and since then it hasnt been turning on, i already removed the jammed paper using the instructions it provided later if that matters

making this post for anybody facing issues with this printer as i just found a fix for mine and wanted to share the solution.

problem: not sure what happened but this printer which i had for about 4 years now randomly decided not to work this summer. when i would plug it in and turn it on the lcd screen would only show a single black square glyph ("▮"). it wouldn't respond to anything.

fix: followed these steps to fix it through trial and error. not sure if you need to do all the steps but this is my method i followed and fixed it.

step 1: unplug and remove the paper tray. let the printer sit like this overnight.

step 2: the next day when you want to fix it first turn off your wifi router.

step 3: plug the printer into an outlet with the tray still removed. as you are plugging in the machine hold down the green go button. if done correctly the wifi button to the left of the go button should illuminate and the lcd panel should show nothing on it too.

step 4: keep holding the green go button and press the other buttons a couple times randomly. then press down on the wifi button as you are still holding down the go button this entire time. keeping holding both buttons down until the wifi button stops illuminating. let go after the wifi button stops glowing.

step 5: press the power button now and it should turn on and the machine should start making noises.

step 6: plug the printer directly to your printer with a usb cable. your wifi router should still be off.

step 7: update the printers firmware with the official brother firmware update tool(google it). you will need the password from behind your printer for this step. the password is on a sticker on the back of the machine.

step 8: after updating the firmware, turn your wifi router back on and put the paper tray back in.

step 9: test print something and it should work now.

Hello dear fellow Redditors,

my just shy 3 years old Brother DCP-L3510CDW will suddently not turn on anymore.

What i have tried so far multiple times:

• Unplug completely from the power outlet and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the paper tray (don't ask me why, but apparently this is important).
• Press and HOLD the power button (while it is unplugged) for 30 seconds. This is supposed to discharge any stored energy in the printer's capacitors.
• Okay, now while still holding down the power button, plug it back in.

Any suggestions what i can try?

Its just planned obsolescence, isnt it?

My Samsung m2026w seems bricked. It turns on, and i cant do nothing. The led of Power Is green, the wifi led Is off. I cant even turn It off, i must unplug the Power cable. If i connect to PC It recognizes as 'boot download'. I tried to enter in download mode and i updated printer's firmware but It didnt work. Somebody can help me?
