Please recommend printer

[DeonH]

Hi all and thank you for your help.

I'm on a tight budget and will appreciate your recommendations for a multi function printer with the following:
1. Mono laser 3-in-1 (don't need fax)
2. Print
3. Scan
4. Auto document feeder - high on wishlist
5. Duplex printing (will be nice)
6. Wireless network connection

Thank you very much.
Deon

Epson L800

Ideal for photo printing, the L800 is Epson's first integrated ink tank system that lets you enjoy high-quality photo prints at an ultra-low cost. With the ultra-high-capacity ink tank and high-volume ink...

I have the EPSON L550 4 IN 1 MULTI FUNCTION THAT PRINTS, FAXES, SCANS & COPIES. IT CAME WITH A 3 YR WARRANTY. IT IS SUPER ECONOMICAL AS U CAN REFILL INK YOURSELF WITHOUT HIGH CARTRIDGE COSTS...

PARK AVENUE STATIONERS IN MAYFAIR HAD DA BEST DEAL

As mentioned, have a look at the Epson L series. It's not laser, but I have the basic L355 with refillable tanks, and it's really economical. I think the L550 has a document feeder. We are approaching 3 reams of paper, and my tanks have not fallen below the half line mark, with heavy colour usage.

Had a very nice Canon MFP with superb printing quality, but the cartridge costs killed me (even generics). My wife runs a small business and colour economy became a serious requirement. Laser toner is just as expensive, and photos looked terrible. So far so good...
