wireless all-in-one printer/copier scanner. Hoping to pick one up in the sales[-o<

will be used at home, for small volumes. good print quality required (happy to sacrifice speed for quality). Dunno what else I should be asking - but economical to run and low environmental impact would be good. Price limit £100.

and may researching and responding to this small request bring great joy to my nerdy org. brothers who have fun doing such things!

Why wireless?

Re: techies - recommend me a ...
 

• lack of space to locate it near my workstation/dining table
• we have more than one laptop operational in the house

any reason why we shouldn't?

Re: techies - recommend me a ...
 

just to cut cost I'd imagine.

We have a Lexmark Z1480 which is wireless, very plain and white, not too big and prints very well. That ink carts are about £35 for both and seem to last ages. Very easy to set up on the network.
Good photo printer, costs about £50 on t'interweb.

No I was just wondering if you were getting one just for the sake of it :p

If you are using laptops then fair enough. Blue pete's sounds ok :D

We've got an HP one (Photosmart something... they have changed the line-up now)

Works well with 2 laptops and 3 desktops, print quality is good, consumables are OK too. PC World (as a guide price), seem to be doing them for under £100...

I've found HP to be pretty reliable perasonally, though my current printer is ancient. Some friends have recently bought an all-in-one wireless HP but I don't know which model, they're very happy with it.

http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/ is useful, there are usually "expert reviews" links attached to the items. Trouble is there are so many models to choose from, especially if you go up to £100 odd. Ink running costs are key, I reckon, need to scout around on-line for ink suppliers like these for example.

HP are generally mint :) we use one at work - wireless, scanner & printer (and therefore photocopier) all in one, also takes various memory cards :) you'll pay a bit more for a wireless hp item rather than say the ones you'll see for £30 at morrisons...

www.Ebuyer.com are very good when it comes to stock & delivery times (and also usually price) :) hope this helps :)

HP are good but they've made a few dud models. Maybe worth running your final decision or top 3 past us.
