I am trying to find a printer solution for my mom. She is an infrequent user and print head clogs are the reason we are looking to buy a new printer. Telling her to print weekly to avoid print head clogs is of no use. She is not going to listen.

What we need is a cheap printer that is simple to use and doesn't clog (or easily cleanable/replaceable). Also, it needs to be able to print from her iPad.

1. What is your printer budget? What is your country of origin?
USA, Under $200 (cheaper the better).

2. Preferred Brand(s)
No Preference

3. Brands Not Preferred (state reason why)
No Preference

4. How many pages do you print per day?
Infrequent, print head clogs are a major concern. Speed is not a concern.

5. Do you want your printer to perform other functions (scanning / copying / fax)?
copying

6. Preferred website for printer (eg Newegg / Tiger Direct, etc)?
No Preference

7. Do you want your printer to have WiFi capability?
Yes, we would like the iPad to work with it.

8. Do you want your printer to have full color or black and white?
No preference (black and white if it makes sense)

9. How much do you currently spend on ink/toner?
Too much. $65 for a pack of 2xblack, magenta, yellow and cyan.

10. Do you print high quality or high resolution documents or photographs?
No

Thanks for the recommendation. Bought the printer for $80 and had it working on her iPad in less than ten minutes. Perfect.
