I seem to have the best luck with HP Officejets. The last one I got is a scanner, fax copier and printer. I only buy inkjets because I like to do my quilt labels with them, but if you don't plan on doing that, then a laser printer would be the way to go. I used to have the $300-400.00 models, but the last two I have gotten, I got at Wal-Mart...Now don't laugh...for $40.00 and they are fantastic. They last about a year until you have to replace the ink cartridges (and I do alot of printing) but with the outrageous price of refills, I go back to Wal-Mart and buy another printer. We then donate the old printers to a workshop here that dismantles them. Anyway, like I said, I've had the big and expensive, but, when it is all said and done, these little HPs from Wal=Mart are almost as good.
