Looking for the right printer?
Perhaps you need to buy a new printer but you don’t know exactly what model will best meet your needs? After all, there’s a huge variety of printers available, so it’s hard to see the wood for the trees. Fortunately, PC World (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/editorial/izone-printers) offers an excellent printer buying guide: you should first choose the type (photo printer, office, all-in-one, laser, etc.) and then indicate your preferences (speed, network integration, etc.). The result is a list of various types meeting your requirements. An even more comprehensive site is Printer.com (http://www.printer.com): in six steps you’re guided to the printer you need (from a total of over 4,000). However, since this is an American website, some types of printer may not be available over here, whilst prices are, of course, shown in dollars. However, by googling for a specific printer model, you can easily find out whether it’s available in the UK and how much it costs. For background information and practical buying tips, check out CNet’s Printer Buying Guide (http://reviews.cnet.com/printer-buying-guide/) and Buying a Printer – Help and Tips (http://malektips.com/buying_a_printer_help_and_tips.html). They’re essential reading for anyone wishing to buy a new printer.
