Small wireless laser printer/scanner/copier

[jcpainter]

I'm looking for a reasonably small wireless laser printer/scanner/copier. I can't seem to find one that meets all the criteria.

Does anyone know of one that meets ALL of the above criteria?

Thanks

I usually buy a tuner online on the website https://www.mrdepot.ca/products/brother-hl-2240-toner since it is much cheaper in terms of money and I do not have to go to the mall to buy a new cartridge. It seems to me that the toner consumption is much less in this way. But perhaps this is speculation.

I second the Brother.
Carryed a Brother monchrome laser for several years. I don't need the scanner, but do demand Duplexing. I've had several that passed 50,000 impressions. Fitted in a storage cabinet over the TV.
Brother Toner cartridges are also very easy to refill (saves alot, like spending $10 to refill a $70 new cart)

Correct, that is why I recommended the HP M29W which is the "twin" to the M15W in size other than the extra bit of added size for the built in scanner on top..

Phones do take a decent pix but they have a lot of limitations like getting the phone camera lined up straight and true enough to not skew/angle the picture of the paper you are taking.. Not to mention holding the phone still enough to not blur or move away from the paper.. Getting even lighting across the entire paper can be a challenge and often phone cameras like dedicated cameras will have shadows across the photo without proper lighting.

A scanner since it has it's own light source will properly light the entire document evenly and the paper will lay flat and even.

Scanners do have their place and a phone camera sometimes just can't do as good of a job of a scanner.

I own them all, a bed scanner, a phone with a pretty good camera and a handful of standalone cameras up to 15 MP and yet always get the best scan in digital copy via the bed scanner and it is very quick. All without the need to position, re-position, hold breath take a bunch of photos and chose the least blurry.

So when quality of the digital copy of a piece of paper or even a photo print it is hard to beat the ease, speed and quality of a dedicated document scanner.

Take a look at the Brother MFC-L2710DW. $199.99. I have this at home, super usefull. https://www.brother-usa.com/products/mfcl2710dw#

Even then small size = $$$$$

Yes, but we want to keep this in the RV and so often the ink jet cartridges dry out when not used for a while.

Thank you so much for the review. I appreciate it and will probably order this one.

Not a laser and Pricey but if you’re going to use it on the road as much as I do it’s worth the price:

Found HERE

From what I am reading it does scan in color, but it is only monochrome (B&W) for printing.

Due to the size, the input paper tray cannot store paper when closed.

Thank you very much.

What are your criteria? Not everyone thinks the same when it comes to size.

Most combination print/scan/fax all in one units seem be built under the assumption that everyone whats a full sized floor standing office copier.. Many of these units now days are way oversized and will not fit on a desk.. The average multi use printer takes up the space of 4 GC2 batteries (two stacks of two) and that would be on the small side.

I don't understand why they have grown, but they have..

HP does have some smaller printer/scanners which is most likely the direction the OP will need to go.
