Printers fall into a few main types. Laser printers use toner and are well suited to sharp text and steady document printing in homes and offices. Inkjet printers handle color and photos well, and models with refillable ink tanks reduce the hassle of frequent cartridge changes. All-in-one machines add scanning, copying and sometimes faxing. Specialist printers include photo printers for gallery-quality prints, label and receipt printers for shipping and retail, and wide-format printers for posters and plans.
Scanners range from flatbeds for photos and documents to sheet-fed document scanners that digitize stacks of paper quickly and on both sides. Film and slide scanners let photographers and families digitize negatives and transparencies, and some flatbeds include film holders too. Resolution matters for film and photos, while speed, feeder capacity and software matter for documents.
When choosing a printer, consider what you print, how often and how much the supplies will cost over time, and check that supplies for the model are still easy to find. Connection options include USB, network cable and Wi-Fi, and some models require a manufacturer app or account for certain features. For used office printers, ask about the page count, remaining toner or drum life, and whether service parts have been replaced.
Choosing a printer or scanner
- Match the printer type to your printing — laser for frequent text, inkjet or ink tank for color and photos, label printers for shipping.
- Check that ink, toner and service parts for the model are still available and fit your budget over time.
- For used printers, ask for the total page count and the condition of the drum, fuser or print head.
- Confirm driver and software support for your computer's operating system, especially for older scanners.
- Ask whether a used office printer's stored data, address books and network settings have been cleared.
Questions about printers & scanners
Should I buy a laser printer or an inkjet?
Laser printers suit frequent text printing and don't dry out if left unused. Inkjets and ink tank printers handle color and photos better. Think about what you print most and how often.
What should I ask about a used office printer?
Ask about the total page count, remaining toner and drum life, any recent service, error history and whether the seller tested print quality. A test page photo is helpful.
Can I use a film scanner to digitize old negatives?
Yes. Dedicated film scanners and flatbeds with film holders can digitize negatives and slides. Check which film sizes the scanner supports and whether its software runs on your computer.
Why do some printers ask me to create an account?
Some manufacturers tie features such as cloud printing or ink programs to an app or account. Check whether the model you're considering works fully over a local connection if you prefer not to use one.
