Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier

Have had the Canon mx850 for about six months at the office. Works great and is easy to use. Not too big. Ink jet.
They were running a rebate of I think $150.00 at the time.

 

My 2-cents? They all suck. I think the all-in-one devices tend to have too much software crap to actually work well. Get a Brother or HP Laser printer (not ink jet), and a separate Fax/Scanner. In the long run, I think it makes life easier (and cheaper).

 

Here is some info.

i would recommend

For color:
HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi (have about 7 in service currently and they have been working out like a dream)

HP LaserJet M2727

also ever consider leasing? most of my clients lease printers. Example: IKON ($6K+ multifunction copier) for around $50-$90 depending on what model this includes all toner and maintenance usually you can get free setup

 

A laser all in one is going to run some bucks. I would get a color laser for heavy printing and a cheap all in one inkjet for the other stuff. You can refill the laser toner yourself and save quite a bit of money.
