HP 3930?

My mother has an HP 3930 printer and while I was there visiting her she
printed a picture that her grandson sent via email . She's not computer
literate at all and wasn't set up to do photo printing--just wanted to have
a print-out that she could hold in her hand. It took almost 10 minutes to
print the picture! Obviously the quality wasn't very good and I was
flabbergasted at the amount of time it took to print. Is this normal for
that printer? It reminds me of way back when! I'm thinking that I could
buy her the cheapest Canon or Epson on the market and get her a faster and
better printer than that HP.

She wouldn't be printing more than a couple of hundred things a year--any
suggestions what I should buy her? TIA!

BTW, Happy New Year!!!!

Thanks for the reply! I picked up a new cartridge and I'll install it next
time that I get over to her place. Hope that helps! Thanks, again.
