I bought an HP one from Ferrer near the market.

There are 2 Ferrer shops, one sells larger items the other small stuff

Why don't you use Amazon? Next day delivery and probably much cheaper. Also, although HP make very good printers, getting compatible ink is much more expensive than for Canon or Epson.

Just a thought X files. If like us you use your place for holidays, an Inkjet will dry up and you have the cost of replacing the expensive carts and cleaning the heads. If you just want to print boarding passes I would recommend a Ricoh laser printer. Only B & W but that is all you need. The wifi one is only about 42 euros in spain. Not exactly straight forward to connect to Priinet router every time, but I sorted mine eventually.

If it's only for occasional printing, eg boarding cards, it might be worth considering the Internet cafe behind Plaza de la Laguna. Also, I understand that the shop on the corner opposite Passage does printing.

Alternatively you could (if it's only for boarding passes) use your phone. We download the app of which ever airline we are using (usually Ryanair) & then at the airport they just scan your phone. So much easier & no need for a paper copy, regards Bryony

Good point - I got a compact ink-jet printer and I hardly ever use it as I have to buy new cartridges every time I visit because they dry out. I've tried all sorts of airtight wrapping, even putting them in the fridge but they do dry out if not used.

Yes Lasers never dry out. I have a laser and it works perfectly even after months. I also have an ink jet but that it isnt idle for more than 6weeks, I bought refilled cartriges, and they came with a clip, that pushes a rubber strip against the ink output. So I use them every time, and no drying.

So a wifi printer needs a connection to the router, I didnt know that, dinosaur!! I use the cable.
