They just work. Have separate colours for each ink (with the "mid-range" anyway - the el-cheapo's have the black and "3 in 1" colour cartridge).</div><div><br></div><div>Lasers - leave the HP's alone - I've had a terrible run with their AIO's (all in ones). In fact I just got India to take one back it was so bad that it wouldn't even choose the trays. That took me over a month of "tech support" (tech frustration and how to repeat the same story twice a week). It was their software - again. The hardware is normally good but their software is, well, horrible. It's also "bloat ware" size downloads (Printer driver/scanner 700 Mb sort of thing - what are they doing???).</div><div><br></div><div>The Brother MFC series (Mono and Colour) all do what they say but the colour photo's always look better on an Inkjet - just one of those things. I just got the MFC Colour one myself and I'm delighted I can even scan from my laptop (why????). Still, it just works. Consumables aren't stupidly priced.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Q</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 01/07/2008, at 7:45 AM, Ian Olney wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi All<div><br></div><div>My home printer is now defunked - </div><div>Any suggestions for a flexible printer for home use</div><div>MFP?</div><div>laser colour/b/w?</div><div>ethernet - maybe?</div><div><br></div><div>Saw this in Macworld ad from Designwise</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Times; ">Multi Func, <span style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">A4</span> Mono Laser Printer<span style="font: 9.0px Times"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Helvetica; ">WC3119 Print/Copy/Scan<span style="font: 10.0px Times"> </span><span style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">$145 </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 7px/normal Helvetica; ">• Ideal for Home or Small Offi ce<span style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 7px/normal Helvetica; ">• Printer, Copier & Scanner.
