Home Printer

We have not had a working printer at home for a long time. This is simply because we did not print that often and it just did not seem to make sense to maintain a printer at home. In fact, we could buy a new printer for the cost of new printer inks!

Well, we finally decided to get a printer. Selection was simple – Just go for the cheapest colour printer / scanner. (Most printers support network printing or AirPrint nowadays, so that is not much of an issue.)

We got the HP DeskJet 2621 All-in-One Printer
