New wireless printer
- Thread starter DrB0b
- Start date
I recently purchased a HP4500 Officejet, 4 way. I am still uncertain as to how happy I am with it. It is not laser. It is wireless, works in my home network (as printer)with my desktop (windows 7) and my laptop (vista). Is not working as a wireless scanner yet. I have not tried out the fax feature yet. Uses a lot of ink. I get occasional wire jams. Got it cheap, less than $100.00. Would not recommend it for anything other than occasional use. Good luck

HP makes wireless adapters for many of its printers.
Although, once again, not a color laser, I have had FANTASTIC luck and much happiness with my PhotoSmart C8180.
It has ethernet, wireless, and bluetooth. I can print a picture over bluetooth from my iPhone. I can print directly from camera cards and so forth. It has a built-in LightScribe DVD recorder, which will allow you to copy from your camera card to a CD-R or DVD-R. Windows sees the card readers and DVD as additional shared drives on the network.
Photos are amazing, print speed is adequate (once it gets started). It has a paper tray for 8.5x11 as well as a 4x6 photo paper tray.
A complete set of cartridges (it uses 6) including 150 sheets of photo paper is like $35-$40. And it uses individual cartridges for each color, so there's no ink waste from traditional "tri-color" cartridges.
I know it's not a laser, which is one of your pre-requisites; but between my B/W LaserJet 2200D and this C8180, I have all the printing I could ever need, and SO much functionality....
Just my 2¢
