DOH! After seeing this I must append that the lower end (<$300) all-in-one stuff is problematic in my experience. Clients who have big Xerox, Konica, and Ricoh scanner/fax/copiers (and I mean big enough that they are standalone units with wheels, etc) have proven bulletproof in the scan-to-PC and print from network functions. Thanks Tom, I was only thinking SOHO-style all-in-ones - which I even happen to have at my house, but shared from a server’s USB port - not the higher-grade stuff Dave From: Tom Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 11:46 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: fax/copy/scan/print?
Sort of on the high-end but for some of our fiscal staff who need an all-in-one and small office we lease Xerox units. We currently use the 4118 and have found these to be better than the sort of variety you'd see in Office Max/Staples. It's about $800 retail but can really handle heavy printing. One of our users went through three HP all-in-ones before we decided to just get a better business class unit. Xerox does have cheaper units as well, but we happen to use the 4118 multifunction here. >>> "David Lum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/12/2008 12:36 PM >>> The only think I suggest is avoid using it with a print server to put it on the network. I have had zero luck keeping all-in-ones playing nice on a LAN for much over a year. Didn’t seem to matter if we had a Linksys, Hawking, or HP print server either, if it was an all-in-one it would install great and die many months later. The same print servers have been flawless with standard HP LasterJet’s (HP4, 4000, 8000, etc), so go figure.

I am looking for an all-in-one machine (fax, print, scan, copy) for someone to use at their home office. Requirements are: color printing and flatbed scanner. Any suggestions? Or any to avoid? I’d like to stay around $200 - $300 price range.
