Dell V313 All-in-One Printer - Only $9.00Affiliate

I know..I know….they are inkjets…and companies make money from sellings cartridges. BUT it has got a scanner too….and it's wireless…so IMO it's good for 9 bucks..

The specs don't really say that it's wireless…but i received an email from DELL showing the same price and photo of the printer…and it says it has an built-in 802.11 b/g/n wireless printing. So not sure about that.

EDIT : Those who don't beleive me…check this out : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxkv5bFG68uYRFFDNTZ4Yzh0QVk

Mod: This is not the wireless version.

    WTF $9!!! can't be true.

  •  

    just found it. i though it was a typo….. what would they be making on this. $9 is already delivery cost, technically giving it away for free.

  •  

    includes delivery as well!!! thanks OP

    Wow surprised you didn't notice this.

    The $9 printer does NOT HAVE WIFI

    The WIFI version is $79.

      who cares, $9 for a all-in-one USB, new and delivered.. bargain!!!

      •  

        I got the V313W for $24 a year ago when dellswarm still alive. Good for a wireless scanner. Not so much as a printer cause the ink last about 10~ pages. I never tried to replace the ink, cost a lot more than the printer itself.

        • +17 votes

          If I managed to print 10 pages of $2 whopper coupons it would get its money's worth(all $9).

          My local HJs (Glenndenning,NSW) does not require any proof of coupon. I can order the $2 deal and the $1 Chicken Fillet burger or wrap no proof, so still no deal for me !!

      True

  •  

    Doesn't look like wireless???

  •  

    Bought, thanks OP.

  •  

    Not wireless.

    And you will waste so much more in colour cartridge costs when one colour runs out but you then need to buy a whole new cartridge. Much better with a printer/multifunction with separate colour cartridges.

        Yeah $16 for a FULL refill, seems quite cheap

          $14 here
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-Black-ink-cartridge-compatible...

          The ink on this thing isn't the cheapest, even with non-genuine cartridges..
          On a volume basis, it's $7 for 19ml :\
          With the non-genuine carts on my Epson (cost $89), it's $2.50 per 18mls.

        • +1 vote

          Yes, but then the $14 is 2Black only
          whereas, $16 is 1
          Colour and 1*Black

          Should be able to print colour

          Offers fast print speeds, up to 33 ppm in black and 30ppm in color

          Ah, my bad.
          Still, the cost-to-volume ratio is pretty bad :(
          Mine is $2.50 per 15mls (for each colour BCYM)

          Not bad for a backup though.

          that's a quick cartridge change if it runs out of ink after 10 pages.

          Then you're lucky to not have any experience with those that does. Brother is one of those companies that made some of them that way.

        •  

          Lots of Canon & Epsons are like this, it's very common practice to ensure cartridge sales. IIRC it was mentioned in a previous post for this model as well.

        • +3 votes

          Even for brother inkjets these days—that is the newest generation of mfcs. You can trick the printer into thinking there is ink by taping the clear window in the cartridge. I love brothers. =)

        •  

          I bought a different All in One from Dell last time when they had it on sale for around $10. I never put the cartridge in and it scanned fine.

          My Canon MP610 doesn't allow scanning when 1 ink cartridge runs out.

          Don't worry, it was a WTF moment for me as well when I discovered that my old Canon MP830 wouldn't scan without all 5x ink tanks being read as full! :s

      The Wifi version works when ink is empty, so this will likely work as well.

  •  

    I don't need it, but meh why not?

  •  

    now what, need new cartridges for my Canon printer. Do I just buy this one?

  •  

    OP, is this deal public (for everyone) or only intended for you (by accessing the link in the email)?

    •  

      Everyone, I cannot identify any "user-specific" words in the URL

      People have purchased it anyways

    •  

      There was no link in the email. After getting this email I simply went online and spotted this discounted price as being public, so posted it here.

    These printers are awful. I had one of these and probably used it a total of 4 times before it ended up in my garage.

    Problems like:

    1. Paper jams whenever the paper tray had less than 40 sheets of paper in it

    2. The firmware is borked — USB mass storage printing doesn't work and the printer reboots whenever a USB media is inserted

    3. It takes around 2 full minutes for the printer to start printing from a cold boot.

    4. The printer drivers - does not remember your preferences for colour or B&W printing. The driver seems to troll you by selecting the colour print option ever damn time.

    This printer should only be used where it came from — Hell.

    •  

      Did did a quick search (found lots of reported issues) and decided I will give it a miss ( i was on the checkout page). My canon MP270 printer - 1 year old has never had these issues. $9 price $9 value. IMHO

        Here is the Amazon review for the Wireless model of this printer:

        http://www.amazon.com/Dell-All-in-One-Wireless-Printer-V313W...

        My suggestion: not worth your time, although it is good value for money don't think about using this printer on your work machine. Give it to your kids, your grandma, your arch-nemesis or the boss that you hate so much at work, but for gawd's sake don't use this machine for any important work. It will make you cry.

    On site this is the $9 one : http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=au&c...

    The WiFi one : http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=au&c... is $79, unless you know something that isn't on Dell's site?

    BTW, good quality refill ink here : http://www.inkjetwholesale.com.au/products/productsview.php?... for a decent price.

    Have no use for one whatsoever, but in the true Ozbargain spirit I did not let that get in my way.
    I think the WiFi model is the V313W, however. But doesn't matter.

    Although I have a printer already, this should save me from buying more ink for a little while. Thanks OP!!

    EDIT: When the ink is done you can apparently get Dell to pick it up and recycle it for free…

    "Dell offers industry-leading free and fee-based programs for consumers. We pick up and recycle any Dell-branded equipment for free, nationwide. We also recycle non-Dell equipment when you buy certain new Dell personal computers and provide paid recycling services for any brand equipment."

      Good catch!

      $9 to have Dell loan me a printer till it runs out of ink, and then take it away when I'm done?

    In my Order acknowledgement email at the bottom it says,
    Technical difficulties are temporarily preventing us from calculating the final price of the system you have chosen. Please proceed with your order and a Dell Representative will call you shortly to confirm your final purchase price. If you are not happy with the final purchase price you will be given an opportunity to cancel your order, without obligation, before your order is finalised.
    Don't know what that means.
