What all-in-one printer?

Jon12345 · 28 Feb 2008 at 11:53

I want to get a decent all-in-one printer that does colour, print, copy, fax, photo, scan. Has to be able to connect to my network. I run a biz from home with several PC's attached to the network. Print volume is low.

Any good reviews out there that look at several top machines? What would you go for and why?

Thanks,

Jon

Stay away from the Dell all in one wireless network range, they are ******* unbearable to set up and often just wont work even after pouring 10+ hours into it. Thats all the advice i can offer. The best printer ive ever owned is one i have to get up and press a button on, i absolutely hate all-in-one printer software, it does my head in.

then cannon mp series is pretty cheap, and very simple to use

got a mp160 here and a mp170 at work, the 170 is an improvement in regards to ease of use. and they are about 60 notes new

just to say i don't get on with the HP range of all in ones. the software is terrible

So you have to install a whole bunch of software too, rather than just a printer driver?

Yup, thats the reason all in one's are terrible, almost all the software that comes with it is the equivelent of drilling into your brain.
