Printer Recommendations

I bought a Canon 3200 pixma air all in one, no fax, for 50 bucks. Smallest, lightest, best I have owned. Seldom need color so I really don't care about printing pics so I can't say much about that. It's Stingy with the black ink. Not about to pay $250 for a fancy printer that probably won't last any longer.

Unless you use your printer frequently, stay away from inkjet type printers. We don't print very often and had two ink type printers dry up and clog the ink nozzles. No choice but to trash them. We bought a cheap Cannon compact toner based printer a couple of years ago. No problems. Didn't need color. So, it works for us.

all of the printers I have bought lately have been canons for about $29-39. the ink that comes with them are worth half that. they have performed flawlessly over the years. I do have a tiny HP 130 that only prints 4x6 paper.

We have been using the Epson Stylus NX625 for three years and love it. It's a printer/scanner/copier and wireless so we keep it on a window ledge in the BR and print from anywhere we have the laptop, even outside. Best of all you can usually get it for just a little over $100 and it uses a separate color cartridge for each color.

I have a true sine but use a Canon Ink Jet (MG class)... There used to be a few compact printers on the market, I think Kodak still sells one but not sure.

My Canon is a full size multi-function (Printer/Scanner/Copier) it does everything save Fax and of course can do that with a bit of assistance from a computer. I have a table I built to hold my "Navi-comp" (This laptop when traveling and runnign Windows S&T) the printer sits atop it with a strap to keep it from slipping off if I make a sudden change of movement.

Works well, a non-slip pad atop the printer and it holds the computer as well

The table is a touch overbuilt, but hey,, It was made from scraps on hand.

Canon MG4100 fits in our closet and I bought an ink refill kit. It scans and copies which has been very handy. It also has Wi-Fi capability so I can access it without cables and my wife can use her tablet as well. It lives there and does not need to be removed to be use. Very handy an convenient.

HP Deskjet D1500 series from Walmart. Fits on a shelf in our closet until I need it.

Just purchased a Canon iP100 from Canon. It was a refurbished unit and was priced pretty low with free print in. It works well for routine tasks. I haven't tried it for photos as I have a good photo printer for photos. I bought the iP100 for use when we are on the road.

Check out the Canon iP100.

I needed portability and convenience. This printer is very small and the big bonus is that it is also battery operated.
So you can print anywhere, with or without shore power.

For my work I do a lot of "blueprinting" of houses. I show up at the house, take a bunch of pictures, launch the laptop, run them through the old MS Photo Editor to edge the photos, print them from the front seat of my truck, and then go measure the house and write down all the dimensions right on the pics I just edited and printed.

Very slick little printer. I love it!

With the battery attached, it measures 12 3/4" X 8" X 2 1/2"

Check on how much ink it uses and cost of same. And check reviews online.
