Help to buy a printer

[jacques dupuy]

Could you give me some advice to buy a multifunction inkjet printer :
printer, fax, scanner, phototocopier.
Not interested by high speed machines, average price, used mainly for home
work.
TIA

In N.America, Brother was recently marketing obsolete
multifunction machines (both inkjet and laser) for $60,
not much more than the price of a set of inks or toner.
These printers sold when new on the market at $100 to $200.
I like them and now have two Brother inkjets and one laser,
two of them bought at this discounted price.

After 3 Canons , I just bought a Brother MFC 495 CW ( usually under $100 at
any of the major retailers..got it for $79)

I wouldn't say the photo print quality is a good as the Canon , but I don't
print photos anyway.

Great software , ( installed on Win 7 / 64 desktop and Win 7 Starter
netbook ) ,wireless capability if you need it and cheap carts from the
online retailers.

Only 'complaint' is the paper tray...if you use a variety of media , you
might get tired of playing with it. The dual paper feed on the Canon DOES
spoil you..

I would Googling around the the INK price, especially if there is 3rd
party ink available then go from there.

Or if you won't mind paying for expensive ink then any printer would do,
cuz after the original set of inks the printer is pretty much worthless. Or
a set of ink may cost almost the whole new printer, and more expensive than
a discontinued old model.
