Hi,
We need a business printer for my wifes homebased business, can anyone reccomend one or somewhere cheap to get one from - any good sellers on ebay?

Must haves:
Colour
Size - small foot print as it’s a home office
Economical (toners/cartridges etc) are any brands known for being particularly economical or expensive?
Networking - wireless would be a bonus but if not we could print via a desktop with a wireless card sat next to it
Scanning/Faxing - nice to have, but not essential

I quite like the look of this: Multifunction office machines, laser colour printers: Phaser 6110MFP which can be had for around £380 inc VAT from a reseller or offers over £180 on ebay.

Any better options for around £300???

Cheers

Pickle

Anyone???

Is Xerox relatively cheap for consumables?

I currently use a hewlet packard all in one for my small business.
I've had no issues with it. Not like my Epson which was always blocking print heads.

I'll take a look at what's available from HP. I seem to find that HP software tends to be a bit of a pain....might just be the cheapo printers that I have had though...

Is the toner/drums etc fairly reasonable to buy?

Xerox are very good, but pricey to run.. we run 8 in our firm. Hp's for general office use can't be beaten really. reliable, completely servicable and relitively cheap

We've stopped supplying Epsons now. Such a pain. Cheap enough but they don't last a year!

Just purchased a HP 2600 for home - cheapish network colour laser (no fax/scanner) - need a Mac/PC network laser and this does the job with a relativley small foot print.

We use Oki colour lasers at work - excellent quality....not sure how they comapre with running costs though! (cheaper pp than an inkjet though)
