Brother HL-2170W Laser

$167.00 Est. at Amazon

from JoeEkaitis, www.shopping.com
review: printer sharing was a great idea but its days are numbered.
from www.amazon.com
lord wore short pants (i simply don't understand how it can keep going like it has but it still works) and the idea of not having to walk back to the office to get a printed copy sort of appealed.
from www.amazon.com
i since turned down the time that it stays in "ready to print" mode before returning to idle and haven't noticed it as much.
from Miguel, www.newegg.com
it uses about 5w of power at idle so if you don't print much, just turn it off.
from Bill, www.newegg.com
the cd failed to identify with the printer and install the driver.

Brother MFC-490cw Color Inkjet Multi-Function

$151.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
i don't use the printer for faxes, so i have no idea how well this feature works.
from www.bestbuy.com
this is especially a great idea for homes (or dorms?) with multiple students.
from www.amazon.com
disable my third-party internet blocking software permanently and made a break-through after many hours only by identifying the printer by its ip address for both the printer and scanner functions.
from www.amazon.com
apart from a minor setback during installation (it wouldn't accept my network id, i had to select the ip address number instead), it works as intended.
from www.amazon.com
any printer will have consumable costs and unfortunately buying third-party ink or refilling ink tanks is not a good idea because usually the ink will clog up or even damage your printer in the worse

Canon PIXMA MX860 OFFICE AIO-2.5IN LCD

$226.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it takes three sheets of paper to align the print head, because you need to identify to the printer which is the better of the printouts.
from www.amazon.com
the idea of reducing equipment is a nice thought, but can this printer provide enough to make this idea reality for us.
from the printer owner, www.newegg.com
i copied a photo unto a regular sheet of paper and the pictures were 98.5 % identical sweeet.
from www.amazon.com
ideal for my needs - general light home office, and i dig the wireless connection.
from www.amazon.com
every other aspect of this functionality is identical; you can view the separate scans before they open and they will appear as individual images.

from Lisa L from Woodland Hills, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
but it's ideal for office printing.
from www.amazon.com
it is no noise when it is idle unlike the old one i had which is hp color printer.
from www.amazon.com
i had no idea they had gotten as affordable as i picked this printer up.
from www.amazon.com
as others have said, ideally you'd have a separate circuit but that's a heckuva ask to just have a laser printer.
from Rod, www.newegg.com
no idea why, but it's not a feature that i care about.

Canon PIXMA MP620 InkJet

from www.bestbuy.com
i just noticed that best buy is now selling the mp 620b for $10 more, but i don't see what is different about the updated model since the product descriptions are identical.
from www.bestbuy.com
for those who have a wireless network and need usb ports free for other peripherals, this printer is ideal.
from www.bestbuy.com
the scanner was incredibly easy to use, the copy machine produced some very colorful, and almost identical copies.
from www.amazon.com
i will, however, say this: whose idea was it over at canon to say "gee, lets sell a printer that attaches to your computer via a usb cable, and then not include the cable.
from skids929, www.newegg.com
if you want easy wireless set up for discrete printing (mine is in a closet) and idiot proof menus, manual, wireless and tech support, this is the printer for you.

Canon PIXMA MX850

from www.amazon.com
i have no idea why, since it seems to work for copying documents.
from www.amazon.com
but the support rep correctly identified it as a hardware defect and arranged for a replacement.
from www.amazon.com
the mp navigator software works reasonably well but the ui is a little idiosyncratic--it doesn't have the polish of a true mac os x application.
from www.amazon.com
exceptional print speed -- first thing you will notice is just how fast it prints, and is not only quiet while just sitting there idling, but also with printing or coping too.
from www.amazon.com
but it is ok for identity-card/passport photo's, which you need in a jiffy and don't consume too much ink.

from Priscill from North Carolina, www.circuitcity.com
i had an all in one lexmark and i had no idea how slow it was until i started using this one two weeks ago.
from Ogabes from Maine, www.circuitcity.com
i love the energy-saving feature where it turns itself off after a short time of being idle.
from tinpushe from Guernsey Wyoming, www.circuitcity.com
for the money this was an ideal choice.

from www.amazon.com
this printer should be ideal for the small office and it could be great for the home if the relatively large size does not bother you.
from www.amazon.com
print speed and start up time from idle are quite quick.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
at least this will sit idle for years and never need anything.
from TumbleingOne, www.newegg.com
i loved the idea of the wax block for ink.
from brandtf, www.newegg.com
cons: manual feed slot isn't ideal, but not worth lowering the rating at all.

luckily, i always keep extra on hand for our printers but this hard cutoff is a bad idea...

it identified every computer in my home and scanning remotely is awesome.

this avoids saying "if you had the color version of this chart, this would be red, this would be green,..." get the idea?
from www.amazon.com
on the mac side the software is a bit idiosyncratic...

canon's "print wizard" is a good idea, but they could explain it's functions and options better.
from www.mwave.com
(i have no idea about the ink yet).
from Darkvesper, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i like the idea of all in one, with quality, even if its bulky.
from www.amazon.com
i have no idea how long the ink will last, but the cartidges are at least a little less expensive than the ip4300.

evidently it isn't "smart" enough to identify the document size while scanning.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
hopefully it doesn't have a problem with clogged nozzles if it sits idle for a long time.
from www.amazon.com
1st: if you are using a usb cable to connect to your computer rather than the wireless capability (which i was told would be a good idea- especially if i scan a lot) you have to get your own cable.
from www.amazon.com
the fax preview is a great idea but impractical.

while i am not a tech expert i am also not a tech idiot.i found installation went faster and easier by doing it "my way".
from www.amazon.com
it isn't ideal if you use your home phone line for voice, but if like me your hardline was an afterthought or specifically for a fax, turning it to fax priority will solve the annoying ring problem
from www.amazon.com
the usb connector and power cord inputs are inside a recessed box on the rear of the unit and are very difficult to reach (who's the idiots?).

the idea of a separate tray for 4x6 prints and being able to print photos without a computer alone make this all-in-one worth the money.

then the paper tray itself is virtually identical to the old one except the plastic piece that covers over the exposed part no longer fits in as easily.
