If there's one piece of personal computer peripheral equipment that is considered most necessary by a lot of people, it's got to be the printer. If you only use your computer for games, video, and chatting online, then a printer may not be a big deal. But if you do any work with documents of any kind, then a printer is absolutely indispensable. If you don't have a printer, or if you are thinking of getting a new one, then this article is for you. I'll go over some basic decisions you'll need to make before you go out and purchase one. To begin with, it helps to understand that printers fall into two general categories. All in one printers, which have a variety of functions and capabilities, such as printing, scanning, and faxing, and standalone printers, which basically just print. So depending on how you plan on using your printer, this will help you to make a proper buying decision.

Compared to my first computer, the computers you can buy today are light years ahead as far as speed, technology, and capacity. There is literally no limit to what you can accomplish with today's software and hardware. Of course, nothing is perfect. Hardware sometimes has problems, and software almost always has some kind of issue. The trouble is that sometimes you get an error message that seems to be written in some kind of foreign language. Unless you are an master programmer in several computer languages, you probably won't have any idea what the error message means. In this case, you'll have to turn to the support system of the software publisher. This usually involves filling out a ticket, submitting it, and waiting for a response. This usually works effectively, and most issues are resolved without any further problems. However, sometimes it can be tough to describe in words the actual problems you are having. Many of the error messages you get are nearly impossible for anybody except an advanced programmer to understand, so it's not much help to...more
