Looking for a new Printer Empty Looking for a new Printer

Post by InTenSity Wed 9 Jul 2014 - 14:58

Anyone have any advice on what to get. Things I'm looking for, wifi and auto document feeder. I'd like to be able to print pictures as well, but ease of scanning could end up being more important. Right now I'm looking at Canon, but I've heard good things about Brother too. My current printer is an HP5180, which works well, but only scans 1 document at a time and the software is sort of clunky.

I picked up an HP7525 at Costco for less than $200 about a year ago. It's been very reliable for scanning and wireless printing. I don't print a lot of photos, but I think it's decent. I know it comes with the extra 'photo' cartridge, so it has that going for it.

I'd probably just get the latest Apple printer. Everything else is bound to be crap in comparison.

Looking for a new Printer Empty Brother....

Post by ancientspartan Wed 9 Jul 2014 - 21:11

My HP 4 in 1 died so I got a Brother laser printer and love it. It is wireless capable, scans,copies and prints, of course....but is only bandw print.  Cheaper to go to Meijer or some other place to have pics printed.

I have had an Epson WF3540 for a few years.  It was cheap, but it performed well.  Can remote print over the internet (I'm sure is pretty common now).

I got an Epson Workforce, Turtleneck. It works fine most the time. I like it for scanning.

I have a Brother too. Amazon Black Friday purchase. Ink is less expensive that HP. Set up was a breeze.

Scanner probably used more than the printer. Neighbor is a serious photographer and he uses an Epson with 7-9 colors. No savings in photo prints at home.

HP gets you free ink for life (15 pages/month).

I got the HP 98eTe12 printomatic that uses the kevlar-coated turn signal filter compatible with your iPhone TC 7.0 Hg Vz. If you get the same cord that works with you iFuze outlet, it'll save ya a ton of time.
