Hi to all, just bought a new all in one printer/scanner/copier, come to install it on my puter, it wont install, says 122 RAM needed, anyone else come across & suggestions for a PC that would suit, though not too expensive, Thanks to all.

Are you sure that it will not install? most puters these days have more than 122 MB RAM

Yes I'm sure, it comes up in plain english, this system does not carry the required amount of memory.

Oh oh! Louise!.... have you looked at how much the ink costs on those things?.... I had one and gave it my son... Gerri. PS No I'm not stalking you lol

would be much cheaper to upgrade your ram Paul

No Gerri I know, the bloke in the shop said I only needed 1 cartridge for both black & colour which I thought bizarre, it actually needs 2 & their 15 pound each.

Louise, your thread never said, this system does not carry the required amount of memory, you said 122 RAM needed that is why i asked the question, I have one of those printers and as Gerri says the ink cost's a fortune, when i first bought it it cost £36 for the ink then when i ran out and went to buy some more it had gone up in price and now cost £72 to renew the ink they sell it cheap to get rid of the printers then hammer you when you want refills, dont get me wrong its a brill printer

Louise What printer is it you bought ?? Paul

Been quoted 63 pound to update Ram, but seen ads in paper for better computers around 100 quid 2nd hand.

thats cheap for the cartridges mine cost from £16 for black and £22 for colour Can not you take it back to the shop and ask for a printer that you can use, as the one you have is not fit for the purpose? even if you lose a small amount of money james

it is: Hewlett Packard PSC 1402.

Thanks James, but I dont want to take it back, its what I need for a up & coming work venture, so obviously my puter needs upgrading I think.

are the cartridges compatable with any other HP printer do you know paul

try this place for your replacement carts http://www(.)macksmedia(.)com Paul

Hi All. Tesco sell their own copy cartridges for HP printers now. Regards Alyson

Hi Paul, Dont really know if they are compatible with other printers, & I know of a place where I can get these cartridges for a few pounds on our local market.

Have a look in TESCO there are doing replacment cartridges much cheaper than manafacturers on my hp psc 2110, the photo cartridge is colour and black the printer is very good james

James, although your printer is a more expensive one, they are v very good, though try your local market, a lot cheaper than tescos.

I have tried cheap refills and Cartridge World but unless you are lucky then they do not print all that well, the HP uses a special print head that seems to clog when it is refilled. James

Hi James, My mums got the same & she has never had a dodgy one, been paying a few pounds for them for ages now, she saves more money, & they are HP cartridges.
