Just a warning, I've found a lot of "all in ones" are pretty shitty print quality wise, unless you pay an arm and a leg for them.. NEVER buy a lexmark and always check to see how the colours are mixed, you should buy a printer with a seperate black cartridge not one that creates black by mixing colours.

Bought a Lexmark once, was quite good untill the ink ran out and new cartridges were something like £40+!!!

Looking at the Epsons and HP's... Seems like most use seperate cartriges now for each colour

Go for a printer that has a media reader and a scanner that's not part of the printer.

The quality will be higher and the price less expensive.

The Caonon ones are pretty good, don't know if they can also print Cd/DVD's, never checked that. But you want to avoid Brother, they make the most crappy ones, ink and laser alike.

I`d say Canon, too.
I have a 4200 and it`s a really nice printer. Only Problem is that the cartridges are chiped now. sucks.
but you can still buy cheap ink - you have to remove the original chip and glue it on the cheap ink.


I tried to get an old 4000 - there is one that has wlan build in and only costed about 100 €.
But no chance... as soon as canon stoped producing them the price went up over 200 €...

Not only is this a great printer, it also looks awesome:




the 4200 is a great printer, too (duplex prints, cd/dvd, great photo prints, etc...) - but it looks ugly...

here it is:

I recommend an Epson. The compatibles for them are far cheaper than the cartridges for the other branded printers.


May the NFOrce be with you always.
