Wireless Printer

Looking for a new wireless printer. I don't want to fool with routers, I just want to go from either my tablet or PC straight to the printer.

Need to do scan, print, plus photo. I also would like to have individual ink cartridges. Two sided print would be nice but not really required.

I have looked at HP, Epson and Cannon but there are so many models, it is hard to compare the lot.
  • I have the Epson XP-410.
    It's a WiFi Direct printer.
    It will print directly from the your Tablet or PC.
    If will also print via a router, the only way to print anything from the Web.
    This means if you are on WiFi Direct you can't surf at the same time. It's one or the other, not both at once.
  • cheap printers, buy them. They got-cha! You just got "hooked". OK, price is a good deal.... so it seams... Then ... the first time you have to buy an ink cartridge .... oh-wow-wee! Bite a hole in my billfold! There's nothing "cheap!" Before buying one of those "cheap" printers, check out the cost of the replacement ink cartridges .... you may change your mind. You've got to take the total price into consideration!
  • We have had several Canon printers that we got for cheap from Walmart. Here is their current wireless in-expensive printer.
    Ours in the MH has been bounced around a lot and is serving us well.

  • I second the purchase of a laser jet printer over any ink jet. Toner is a little more expensive than ink, but not really that much, and toner will not dry up. Just so much better than ink jets!
  • My HP crapped out and to make it work they want over a hundred dollars. Looked at other brand, I see BestBuy has a 4 in one Canon for under a fifty bucks. My research seems to point to Brothers as a good deal with reasonable ink costs. Peobsbly never buy an HP again. My free faxing stopped working with no fix, outrageous ink cost, now the pring head. Its just seems to be so much garbage.
    Search online for the lowest per page ink cost and get that one.
