Multi funktion Printer - wich to buy? driver?


Hi everyone.

I am looking to buy a 3 in 1 Printer (Copy, Scan)

Sometimes I'd like also to print fotos. Often I will have to scann.

Wich brand would you buy and why? Wich has low printing costs and is for home office fast? And bevore all that, do i get the drivers for all functions? Thanks for your help.

Check what's available, and check
1. What way they screw you over the refills (toner, or especially ink). A cost per ml of ink is interesting often
2. Discard anything that sane, cups, and whatever fax software you use does not support.
3. See if there's anything left.

I would buy an HP printer, they usually have great drivers, but some other manufacturers also do. Check:
