If you have a computer, then you probably need a printer too. There are a lot of different printers to choose from though, so picking the best one may be difficult.

Anyone with a computer can appreciate the value of a good printer. And the best printers are ones that work well, aren't too expensive to buy or operate, and meet or exceed all of your needs. Here is some advice on how to choose the best one for you.
The main thing you should think about when you are choosing a printer is what features you need. If you just want it to be able to print things once in a while, then just about any printer will do and you should probably just go buy a cheap one. There are usually two or three simple ones available at most stores that carry consumer electronics.
If however, you intend to print things on a regular basis, then you'll need a better printer. Inkjet printers are good enough for most people's printing needs. But if you are planning on printing dozens or hundreds of sheets every day, then you'll want to get a laser printer instead because they're more cost-effective in terms of the toner compared to an equal amount of ink.
If you are interested in printing your own pictures, then you might want to get a printer that is specifically designed for only printing pictures. Some of these can even be connected right to your digital camera to print the pictures on it, or allow for the memory card to be inserted into it so you can print pictures right from the memory card. The best ones for this purpose are made by well-known camera companies.
Most people's best printer choice will be an all-in-one inkjet printer. These are printers, scanners, copiers, and sometimes even fax machines all contained in one unit. They're larger than simpler printers, but they obviously provide much more functionality and are take up less room than a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine would if bought separately.
All-in-one printers are usually the best choice for most people because just about every one has the need not only to print documents, but to make copies of something, or scan a receipt or something as well. It's much more convenient to simply go to your printer in order to do these things rather than having to go to a copy shop to have them do it for you - plus it's free if you do it on your own printer. Most of these printers can also print pictures, so with one of these you won't even have to go to the store to get your pictures printed anymore either.
Another important thing to keep in mind when choosing a printer is ease of use, and connectivity options. If you have more than one computer in your home, you'll probably want to get a printer that can be connected to a home network so you can print things from any computer in your home, using the same printer. And if you aren't the most tech-savvy person in the world, you may want to get one that is easy to use as well so you will actually be able to use all of the features you are buying it for in the first place.
Choosing the best printer requires some planning, research, and important decisions. The best printers are ones made by reputable companies, use separate ink cartridges for each color, and meet or exceed all of your needs. Do your homework and choose the best one for you, so you'll be happy with it for years to come.
