RE: fax/copy/scan/print?

[David Lum]

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

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.

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.
Thanks,

We use two printers.

A HP Photosmart (can't remember the model) and a Dell 1815.

The Dell 1815 is the network printer (b/w laser), network scanner, fax 
machine and copier. The HP Photosmart is for printing in color when 
needed.

It seemed cheaper to do it this way (both up front for equipment and in 
the ink costs).

I'm using, in my home office, a Lexmark 5470, for which I paid $75 on sale
at Christmas. But I only use it for scanning and faxing - I'm very low usage
on paper.

I've not needed tech support, I would expect, to use Ben's word, for it to
be "non-existent".

  I recently started a similar thread [1].  My recent experience with
HP tech support, for two different "All-In-One" printers, has been
nothing short of horrible.  So I'd avoid HP on that basis.
Unfortunately, I am starting to suspect, as Don Ely put it, "there are
no good printers anymore".

  A side client of mine recently bought a cheap Brother IntelliFAX
print/copy/fax.  < $100.  Very compact.  USB attach.  Print/copy
quality seemed fair.  Fax worked well.  No CD in the box; had to
download drivers for printing.  Software install was still heavier
than I liked, but was still a lot better than HP's 300+ MB monster.
Didn't try tech support; web site makes me suspect it's non-existent.
