Need a 3-in-1 printer

[The_Mowgs]

Afternoon all.

I need to buy a printer for the odd printing, copying and scanning at home. I would prefer it if the printer is wifi in order to print from cellphones and tablets also.

Any recommendations?

Laser/ink, bw/colour? If you want a b & w laser, have a look at the Xerox @ Game for R1 499. Recently got the smaller Xerox for a friend and was quite impressed.

Sorry forgot to mention that it should be colour also. Laser would make it a bit too expensive.

I picked the entry level HP one up at CNA for R599:

This whole range is pretty good especially the ink prices. R599 is a great price

That looks like it will be perfect for my needs. Thanks.

Be very careful what you buy. I bought a EPSON 3 in 1 printer, specifically because I wanted the wireless access to it. Turns out I can print to it wirelessly, but I can't scan from it wirelessly. I also can't scan to a USB dongle, but I can print from a USB dongle. Half-asses implementation makes me rage!

Ive tried epson,lexmark,samsung and hp in the last few years as far as all in ones go and I have to say the two hp's I've owned were the best,easy to use and reliable with the refill cartridges offering much much better value for money(more prints for the same money)

You cant go wrong with HP,the rule is however the more expensive the HP initial price is the lower the cost to print per page is.So don't always go for the cheapest one unless you print very very rarely.

The 6 and 8 series can give you much better cost per page ratios than even laser printers!

I'm contemplating the Ricoh Aficio SP C240SF - apparently one can get them for R3200 excl from Rectron. Now to find someone with a Rectron account
