Wireless Printer Suggestion

feriso · 4 Nov 2011 at 13:10

I don't NEED a new printer right now but my daugther is getting to the age where she wants to print bits off for home work and just generally. Now the printer I have is a HP1315 which is connected to my mac; now when this is on she can print to it (as she normally uses my MacBook) but now for both her and I it's would be nice if we could print without having to turn the mac on, and if I could print direct from m iPhone/iPad (hence the airprint)

Done a bit of google around and so far I'm leaning towards the "HP Photosmart 5510 eAiO Wireless". Has anyone used this or any other recommendations?

Personally I love my canon pixma mg6150 and rate the drivers/software higher than HP. Pixma is a good range and worth a look if you're not dead set on HP.

mg5250 in argos for £80 at the moment, just got one , so simple to set up and although i havent put any prints through, the stuff i have done looks quite good. not sure about airprint but you would need to investigate further.

canon drivers are leagues ahead of HP in my experience.

I don't think it works with all printers, there should be a list somewhere
