    Any suggestions? Small business and home use. Must be Color, print, copy, scan, fax and do photos. Current printer is an HP C8180. Price not important but probably under $1000.

    If you are in the market anyway get an HP all-in-one that supports Airprint, so you can print wirelessly from any external device, including a smartphone
    Costco has them for less than $150

    Thanks Alex. There are a lot of printers out there to choose from. My current printer is an HP that is 8 years old.

    I would agree with this. I have a wireless all-in-one HP photo printer...it's very handy to not have wires, to be able to print from my phone (android), print from an SD card, copy/fax without turning on a computer, etc.

    I paid about $175 at Costco and got a few extra print cartridges with the deal. Your >$1000 budget will get you a pretty serious business class printer.

    The new HP's are really good. Ink is expensive, but once again Costco is really the best priced seller.
    You might want to check HP's website. They sell direct and they often offer smokin' deals.

    IMHO it is absolutely unnecessary to spend more than $150 on a printer/fax/scanner/copier. It's just a tool and a $1000 printer will not be 6 times better. In fact it won't be better at all.
