Looking to buy a new printer...

I am in the midst of researching printers and am a little overwhelmed and can't decide.  Would appreciate any help...
Looking for an Inkjet (3 in 1...print, copy, scan)  don't have the need to fax; but, if the price and quality of the print is good, then I will take it.
Do not want to spend a fortune, as it will be used by me alone and just to print off the internet and a photo every now and then.  Do not want to spend a fortune on ink as well.
Wireless connection
Thanks!

After not being happy with HP and Lexmark printers I decided to try Epson and have not looked at anyone else since. Their quality is outstanding and have not had a single issue with either of mine since I bought them. They do great for photos but are also great for basic printing needs. I dont do a lot of printing so my cartridges easily last a year. Best Buy has a WorkForce 2530 for 80 dollars. Its a All In One (Print/Scan/Copy/Fax) or you can get the 2540 which is basically the same but it has wireless printing so a computer does not have to be physically connected to it to print for 100 dollars. Also both of them accept Epson Connect. Which is a app on tablets and smartphones that allow you to print directly from them as well.
The one I have has memory card slots for direct printing of photos. Of course mine is no longer made but the next WorkForce up that adds those memory card and USB slot is the 3520 which runs about 130.

  • Looking to Buy a New All-In-One Printer

    I am looking to buy a new all-in-one Printer.
    I have been using the Epson RX620 for a little over a year and have had great print results. Unfortunately I get a warning message yesterday that the printer needs servicing and nothing will work. After getting much less than desirable results from their Customer Support I am moving away from Epson, after three different Epson printers.
    I have heard many good things about Canon printers. We will be printing bunches and bunches of photos(two small daughters + graphic artist wife = many, many photos). I am presently looking at the Canon MP600. Any goods or bads about said printer?
    We do want a printer that can use cheap cartridges so HP is out of the question. Any other recommendations is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    The only thing that ****** me off about Epson is that they shut down their toll free phone tech support!
    I had to rely on their email support to set up my new Epson printer (CD/DVD loading tray) which wasn't so bad as it was very detailed & hands on. I just couldn't understand their manual. I was having one of my "senior moment" days.
    Those Canon printers are handsome! I almost ended up getting one. But, the Epson printers won because they are the only ones who can print directly on CD/DVDs & all the software is included.

  • Is there a way to print from ipad 4 to a non AirPrint printer? I have a Canon Pixma MP 620 wifi which works fine with my PC but I don't want to buy a new printer. Is there an app for this or adaptors which could work?   thank, Ric

    Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
    Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...

  • To buy a new printer or new print head?

    Hi,
    I have a canon i9100 a3 printer which is 6 years old. the print head has had it, so i need to either buy a new print head for £60, or buy a new printer and i can't decide which one would be better.
    I don't want to spend more than around £250 on a new printer.
    So my question is, would the extra £190 on a new printer be worth the extra quality, of as i've already invested £350 in the i9100 would it be better to buy a new print head for it as the difference would be negligible.
    thanks!

    Hello Martin,
    I think one point that may have been missed by everyones price offerings is that you have an A3 capable printer. I don't think you will be able to get another A3 printer for anything under £250. The Canon iX5000 is the cheapest of the current Canon A3 printers and it retails for AUS$599. Checking the NexTag UK site, the prices range from £235 to £357.
    But even with those prices, there is definitely advantages to buying new rather than spend money on an old dog. The increase in the number of inks used and the advances in ink permanence are one factor. If you are printing mainly A3 posters, then the new ChromaLife inks print a very nice image in combination with 6 to 8 ink printers on photo paper.
    Driver support would be the next important matter. If you do update to 10.6, you want to ensure that the your model is also supported, something that a lot of early adopters have not factored and are being caught out.
    The last item is parts. Vendors typically keep parts for 5 to 7 years. If you have had the printer for 6 years but it was already out for six months before you bought it, then you may only have another 6 month window of being able to get more parts should something else fail...

    Hello stacksofamber and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    You should be able to find a Mac OSX driver for that printer. Did you check with the manufacturer/'s website?

  • I am looking to buy a new iMac....help please.

    I am looking to buy a new iMac, and I started a search on Craigslist for fun, and it seems as if some people have some really good deals on the model mb325ll/a. It is the 2.8 ghz version with 2 gigs of ram and a 320gb hard drive.
    This is not a model sold in the Apple Retail store, so I am a little hesitant, but the guy said it is the business model. Is this true?
    What kind of warranty would it come with if I am an individual user and not a business? Do I miss out on anything? Please give any advice you may have. Thanks.

    There is no such thing as a "business" Mac, versus one for an individual consumers. You should look at this list, and find your model and complete specifications.
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
    Based on the information you provided, it sounds like this one
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.8-24-inch-alu minum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
    which is last year's (early 2008) model, not the current model (early 2009).
    If it is being sold as used, the standard warranty is in effect for one year after its original sale. If it is being sold as new, the standard warranty is for one year. You can check the warranty status using the iMac's serial number.
    You can also compare the price to the same iMac model on Apple's +Special Deals+ (refurb) page. It happens to be available currently as a refurb, if this is the same model.

    Apple certified refurbished Macs have the same warranty as new. From my experience, they look and operate like new.

    Yes, but it's much cheaper to buy RAM from a reliable supplier like Crucial or OWC.

  • I upgraded to Yosemite and I'm told I need to buy a new printer. Any way around this?

    Hello ~ I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Unfortunately, I didn't realize (didn't notice?) that, as a result, my Canon MP620 printer is no longer compatible with my Mac. I certainly don't want to buy a new printer and, with my limited use of my computer, I really don't need and update. Do I have any options? Thank you.

    Do you know that it's not compatible with Yosemite because you've tried it and it doesn't work? Canon is showing software that's compatible with Mavericks, as well as some which is compatible with Yosemite, and if you haven't already installed it, you might give it a try.

  • I need to buy a new printer! Compatibility

    I need to buy a new printer this weekend as mine has just broke.
    I don't like HP
    Can someone tell me if cannon printers will work with the soon to be released Apple print application? Or what brands are compatible I've heard it's only HP but this does not makensense to me.
    Please help as I'm buying tomorrow.

    As of now, the only printers to support AirPrint are the HP Officejet Pro 8500A, the HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One, and the HP Photosmart e-All-in-One. Any printer that is connected to a computer and shared on the network through that computer will also work, although the computer must be turned on and connected to the network. Other printers may be compatible eventually, but at the moment, only the 3 HP printers support it. Several other printers are supported by printing applications.

  • Im looking to buy the new ipad but Iv a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular...if one HAD to pick between the two what would u pick

    I'm looking to buy the new ipad but I've a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular. If one HAD to pick between bigger storage space or the added cellular which would u pick? Please help!

    Like I said, I only have WiFi iPads, and don't know much at all about the data plans, but I don't think that you have to commit to a long term contract and I believe that there are plans that you can cancel at any time. My point is that if you sign up for a plan, and you use it say 4 months out of the year, you could be spending that money that you saved on the original cost of the iPad and even more in the future.
    Actually, you can look at the AT&T plans here.

  • I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

    I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

    If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at  the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade.  Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
    If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
    The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
    Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
    If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
    Just some thoughts.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you aren't going to use your Mac for anything special (Final Cut, Aperture, Photoshop, games...), you don't need that graphic card and you will save money.
    Also, as it looks like you are going to buy the 27-inch iMac, I recommend you to buy the Mac with 8 GB of memory, and then, buy the memory that your iMac needs in OWC or Crucial (the iMac supports 32 GB of RAM) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L
    Doing this, you will save a lot of money. Also, it won't void the warranty of the Mac. If you need help installing the RAM, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5540

  • Looking to buy a new iMac 27"

    Hi to all and thanks for looking,
    As the subject suggests I'm on the edge of buying a new iMac 27" i7 with 8GB of RAM but what puts me off at the moment is the Graphics Card. I mean ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 512MB is the best Apple can do on such a beast? Any news on a new Graphs Card or maybe a option where you can choose a better Graphs Card? I intend to use this machine for gaming, DX11 would also be nice....
    Many thanks in advance!

    Better to post this on the iMac Intel forum
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=132
    My two cents. I'd wait for some revisions. I've heard from a tech that they are still suffering from various problems, the flickering screen among them.

  • Can this issue on my iPod touch be fixed or should I look into buying a new one?

    http://i.imgur.com/Fjp5tXO.jpg
    Is this screen issue on my iPod touch 4th gen fixable somehow. I realy don't want to have to buy a new one and I'm fairly sure the warranty is expired. It has been dropped a few times but nothing too serious if I recall right. There is a small dent in the side of the iPod where the little dark spot on the upper left is. Some research I've done suggests that maybe it's an issue with the LCD. Resetting the iPod has no effect. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Looks like screen problem to me..
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
