Tips & Warnings
When you buy the printer, remember to get accessories, like extra ink cartridges, paper and a long enough cord to go from your computer to the printer.
To get the most out of your new toy, thoroughly read the instruction manual.
Don't go with just one salesperson's opinion. Have a few different people give their two cents. That way, you won't feel like you were suckered into buying anything.
