Re: Printer advice
I use an Epson WF-3540. It is an all-in-one printer, scanner and fax. Prints double-sided. Has LED touch-screen. It can be wired or use wireless networking. Has two paper trays, It has AirPrint. Very Mac friendly. Have had it a year now and it has proven to be sturdy and high quality.

Re: Printer advice
Hi Jane I can't recommend a particular printer/scanner combo but I would like this opportunity to mention a very good Apple article which has an exhaustive list of airprint printers and how to troubleshoot them. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311 I hope it helps a little. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Printer advice
After being abused by Epson Printers for more than a decade, I switched to Canon and bought their top of the line MG8220 all-in-one a little over a year ago. It does all you are asking for, with ZERO hassle. I could not be happier. Of course, Canon discontinued it. You can still find them on Amazon for close to their original $299 list price. The best they currently offer, the MG7520, lists for 2/3 of that, and sells for half what the MG8220 is still selling for. Is it just as good? Reviews are very favorable. What the current model gives away is the ability to scan film (negatives and slide), and it uses an inferior CIS rather than a CCD scanning element. You would have to decide whether these premium features matter to you.

I think their current iteration of the model is this one http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/us/en/pdp/printers/hp-photosmart-6520-e-all-in-one-printer I got mine at Costco on sale for $119 iirc; it uses separate color cartridges and Costco refills those cheaply as well. $10 per refill. It does AirPrint well, automatic double-sided on 8.5x11 paper. It will print 8.5x14 (although it’s not advertised to) but only one-sided. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Printer advice
I’d like to redirect the question, if I may, to a good color printer that is NOT an all-in-one. I am a volunteer at my local community library. We have one Mac and a whole bunch of PCs. Getting them all on the same printer has been a hassle. But we’ve been using old tech. Now we need new tech. I don’t want a home device. I want a small office or large-office printer. All it needs is an ability to print from Ethernet, WAN and via Airport. Any recommendations? The people I’m around all like Epsons, and I’m saddened to learn, here, of the mostly negative rep Epson has. As I understand it, Epson has some of the lowest ink refill prices around… so cost of maintenance should be low.

HP has some very nice color laser printers: http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/us/en/pdp/printers/hp-laserjet-pro-400-color-printer-m451dw We’ve had good luck with their products over the years…just never buy their low-end devices. Another brand we’ve had good luck with are Brother laser printers. Again, don’t buy the low end. For this level of use you really don’t want an inkjet. Laser printers are much costlier upfront, but much cheaper on a per-page cost. We had a HP5 workgroup winter that cost several hundred dollars to feed toner, but would print 10-30K pages on a toner set. Another thing to think of is Xerox’s solid pigment printers http://www.office.xerox.com/solid-ink/solid-ink-printers/enus.html they’re even cheaper per page than laser printers. Any recommendations? The people I’m around all like Epsons, and I’m saddened to learn, here, of the mostly negative rep Epson has.

This means you don’t pay for a new one every time you change carts, on the other hand, this also means you don’t get a new print head every time you replace the cart…I’ve seen more Epson’s die over clogged or malfunctioning heads than any other reason. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
