I read and took your test and found many of the questions about Computer knowledge and skills not pertaining to the subject. Example who real cares about someone's mug shot in question 40 or the best selling pc game in history, there not related to how to run and operate a computer system . And another thing in question 13 your answer to the question what is the first thing one should do first in buying a printer was cost per page, yet on page93 in the article about saving money on cheap printers your writers said the first thing to look for is the cost of the ink. Which is it??

Hi Glenn, The price of ink would factor into the cost per page. The Cartridges in the C5180 AIO that I have are rated in the number of pages per cartridge. You divide the number of pages per cartridge into the price of the cartrige to get the cost per page. Same with paper. The stuff I get comes 2500 Sheets per package. The same formula applies. You add the two totals together and get a pretty good idea of cost per page, so yes, the cost for ink is relevent in the cost per page.
