Multipurpose printer with fax

[shmoore]

Mine just died. I read about many people having the same problem withprintheads so I decided just to toss the Brother MFC-3220c and get a new one.

This is what I am looking for in one unit:

Fax

Flatbed scanner

Copier - I want it to be able to print in black even if another color is out. I would even go for black only because I use it to fax and copy more than anything else. With the Brother, it won't print in any color if any cartridge is empty

Printer..unimportant since I already have two good ones hooked up to my computer.

Thans guys, I know you will know what to reccomend and save me more anguish.

Under $200


Work your miracles......

I'm just bumping this one back up to the top so someone will see it.

Sandy,

My company just purchased a new one for me for home use. I had an HP G55 and loved it. The new one is an HP6310. I've not set it up yet, but my colleagues who have it say it's easy to use. Sorry, no idea on cost. I think my G55 was around $200 at the time.

I have both a Brother and HP multi-function printer, scan, fax and copy machine. I like the brother. I love the HP. But, both cost more than $200.

Look at the Lexmark x7350, I think it's about a hundred bucks. Basic service, quality etc.

The two I have been thinking about are Canon MP530 ($149-199), and HP 5610 ($119 at Amazon). Both get good reviews.

Last month I replaced my printer with a canon because of the customer reviews. I am impressed with it - like it much better than the HP I had.

Our HP psc 2210 does a great job. I don't know the cost--think we may have gotten it at Costco, but I can't remember.

Better check on cost of ink cartridges before you decide. My Lexmark X73 all in one was a gift, and works fine, but costs too much to operate. They could give the machines away and still make money! By the way, it will print b-w with no color cartridge installed.

For overall quality and reliability, the HP products are hard to beat. I'd jsut go to OfficeMax or somewhere similar and pick one out.

Hp 6210

I have an HP 6210 that I like. I had an Epson, but print head got clogged and I could not get it unclogged. The HP has the printhead with ink, so if it gets clogged, you just put in a new ink cartridge.

Thanks guys. I just ordered the HP 6210 for $118 with free shipping and no tax. Locally the HP 6310 was $199. I was told that the 6310 printed about two pages a minute faster...not worth $80 to me. Thank you for your help. I have two HP's already and have had them for years. I just needed the new for for fax and copy. I'm not even going to hook it up to my computer.

Your input headed me in the right direction.
