Printer Help

My HP 845C died last night after many years service, and I need to buy a new printer.

Not sure of the difference between laser and deskjet printers so thought I would ask the question here.
Officeworks has the HP Officejet pro K5300 advertised at $87.

i use the printer for home use and rarely print any photographs.

I need a printer that has double sided Printing (duplex i think they call it) capabilities.

Given that I was satisfied with the 845C would the K5300 be comparable?
Thanks
Pedro

Hi Pedro,

Good price on the K5300 as it retails at HP for $149 and currently on special at $129. However the duplexer function is an option and not standard on this printer so you may want to check whether the one Office Works is selling has the duplex option fitted. The K5400 series has the duplexer as standard, they are of course also more expensive but with the price that Office Works has on the 5300 maybe they have a stellar price on the 5400 too.

Cheers
