Mostly print labels to mail stuff for EE sales, but occasionally scan stuff. Needs WiFi, too. Looking in the $50-$150 range.
What do you guys think is a good model and deal. Thanks in advance! |

I have an HP 8610, and I love it. Had it for about a year for my home office (I work a corporate job from home). Never had an issue, and my only complaint is that the Paper Tray could be bigger. Wireless network, mobile print, not too big. It's an all-in-one so not sure if that's what you're looking for though. Can scan/copy from the tray (multiple pages) or from the flat top (one of my requirements).
On Amazon for 119.99 (prime) |

I recommend looking at colour laser all-in-ones. If you need the printer to have a scanner built in, then it doesn't make sense to go the disposable inkjet route, as the scanner will increase the cost of the printer to the point where it doesn't make sense to just toss it when the cartridge runs out/dries up.
Major drawbacks to colour laser all-in-ones are a) size and b) cost. Cost can be minimized somewhat by buying refurbished models. You should be able to get a good refurb for $250 or less. Good news is, is that toner cartridges don't dry up and last ten times as long as inkjet cartridges so odds are one of these will last your for years and years. Size on the other hand you can't do much about. You're going to need some desk or table space for it as they're significantly larger than your average inkjet. |
