Please Recommend - AIO/MFP Printer

Hi,
i'm looking for a AIO/MFP printer that support "scan to email" and "scan to network folder".
the above functionality should not require the printer to be directly attach to a pc via USB/LAN/WiFi.
the printer should only need to be be configured as network printer with a fixed IP, and the above requirement can be achieved.
other than that, it should also capable of fax and scan.
there are 5 users, and monthly usage is around 500 pages & above.
please recommend me relevant models in these 3 categories (if available):
-black & white laserjet
-color laserjet
-inkjet
thanks & regards,
LauCN

Well here's what I've done and learned.
Shane - I should have listened to you (ultimately I did!).
I went out and bought an Epson Artisan 810 thinking maybe most of the problems had been solved. Long story short - printed a test page and one other page and then went dead - so two pages out-of-the-box it became a beautiful black brick. Epson was less than useful on the phone - suggested they would send a replacement in 5-7 days. I got a case number from them, and returned the printer to OfficeMax.
While there I mentioned the Lexmark '05 series - and looked at a couple choices. the salesman was very friendly, says the Lexmark rep had spent a lot of time with them. Ended up buying a Lexmark Platinum Pro905 series multifunction machine, with two paper trays. Was discounted down to $299 at OfficeMax along with some free stuff and OfficeMac bonus dollars thrown in.
Snow Leopard 10.6 drivers were available from the Lexmark website, downloaded those and used them along with the install disc that came with the unit.
So far - I'm in printer/fax/scan/copy heaven! Working great. Only glitch for me so far is the second paper drawer does not seem to be adjustable down to photo paper sizes, basically it's a letter paper sized drawer (I think?). It still will suit my purpose, my plan is to keep my checks in the second drawer so I can easily print out on check stock from Quicken, QuickBooks, etc. - so really that solves my problem.
I did play with some 4x6 photo paper in the top drawer and the quality of the photo prints were very much to my liking.
So thanks for everyone's comments, let's keep our fingers crossed.

  • I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. Please recommend an address/shipping label program that works with Avery labels. Thanks.

    I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. I press print, and the program closes. I press save, and the program closes. I press print and the program closes. I have had an email exchange with Pabel Printer Pro 7, but the best they could offer was to go to Utilities and click on fixed permssions. I have done that several times, and the program still doesn't work.
    Can you please recommend an address.shipping label program that works with Avery labels that I can purchase, and that is also simple to use?
    Thanks,

  • 309n AIO stopped printing black bought new printhead from HP still does not print black???

    309n AIO stopped printing black bought new printhead from HP still does not print black??? tried the "cleaning" process finally bought new cartridge carriage cost me $50 from HP still dies not print black> i believe it is a software issue. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jokurone,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C309n that has stopped printing black. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will do my best to assist you.
    I would recommend following this Print Quality document as it will help determine whether the issue is with the hardware or the software. If your test pages come out with black then it may very well be a software issue. However, if the test pages come out with no black still it's a hardware issue with the printer. In that case if you follow through that document and the black still isn't printing then you can have a look at Bob_Headrick's post about soaking your printhead.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!

  • Aio remote print app challenge

    I am unable to use the Aio remote print app with either of hp printers which are e-print enabled to get the app to allow me to print more than 10 copies at a time and make the copies double sided.
    Would someone please help?
    Thank you,
    Naeco

    Hi Naeco,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.   I understand that you have encountered a difficultly when using the HP AiO Printer Remote app.
    To better assist you would you please provide some clarifying information:
    1)       What make/model/product numbers of HP printers do you have? Guide to finding your product number
    2)      Are you trying to print 10  copies of a double-sided document that is stored on the device? Or are you trying to make 10 copies of a document that is on the printer?
    3)      What is the size of the document that you are trying to print?  I’m wondering if the size of the file might be the issue.
    Thank you.

  • Looking for new All in One. Is Officejet as good as Photosmart? Please recommend an All in One.

    I have the HP Photosmart C7180 All in One that's a few years old and is starting to give me a lot of errors (mostly ink level errors).  I'm thinking about replacing it, because I want one that doesn't use as much ink -- and one that has a bigger scanner bed (at least 11 x 14 or bigger).  I'm a budding artist and I want to have the ability to scan in my drawings.
    However, I do print a few photos now and then.  Does anyone know if Officejets will print decent pictures?
    Please recommend an All in One (the newer the better) for my needs. 

    Thanks! It sounds like a potential nightmare. Does
    anyone have a different experience? I'm not
    committed to an all-in-one, but it does save space.
    If you're willing to take time and effort into the process, HP's MFDs and Brother's MFDs work... mostly. HP has even improved their drivers. It took 'em long enough.
    No, I repeat, no MFD I've ever seen has been trouble-free, Mac or Windows. That includes Epson, Canon, HP, Brother, and (ugggh!) Lexmark devices. They all give problems. Not necessarily the same problems, but problems. HPs and Brothers give the least trouble with Epson a close third... but YMMV. I know people who swear by Canon, while in my personal experience Canon devices have been... not so good. But it was a limited sample, and maybe I had lemons.
    Most MFDs (that is, everyone but Brother) don't easily do networking unless it's a Specific Feature™. My HP PSC1350, for instance, does not believe that such a thing as a network exists, and is that way if connected to Macs or Windows machines. I can make it visible over the network, but it's a pain.
    If you want wireless network printing, get a wireless router (hint: Apple sells something called an AirPort Base Station) or access point which has a USB port and supports putting printers on the network. Note that you'll likely not be able to scan over the network.
    There are network MFDs; HP makes some. They're expensive. The OfficeJet 74xx is $500, and it's the cheap HP network MFD. I do NOT own one, so I have no idea how well they work, other than they're HPs... which means that the hardware will probably be excellent, and the software dreck.

  • Can I make my HP laserjet m1522nf mfp printing wirelessly?

    I have this non-wireless hp laserjet m1522nf mfp printer at home. I have two laptops and am using FiOS wireless router for wireless internet access. I also have a Rosewill wireless router. It is not a printer server, just a regular wireless router. Now I use an enthernet cable connecting printer to Rosewill wireless router. Can I print from my laptops? If yes, how can I set it up?
    I know I can either buy a wireless printer server, or a wireless adaptor or use one of the laptop as printer server to make this work. But I want to try laptop + Rosewill wireless router + HP printer route.
    Thanks in advance,
    -J. Z.

    Hi,
    Based on its specs, it has:
    Connectivity, standard
    10/100Base-T Ethernet network port, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compatible port.
    Connectivity, optional
    None
    You may be able to connect it to a wireless rounter and config it on the same wireless network then you can print wirelessly.
    Please use the following book (page #13) to set it up.

  • Scan in a PDF format in HP laserjet M1319f MFP printer

    How to scan in a PDF format when the scanner is not showing that option in HP laserjet M1319f MFP printer when it has been installed in a new HP computer with Windows8pro operating system downloading it from HP website ad the Cd that came with the printer did not support this operating system

    Hello yagnya31,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see you are trying to install and scan with the HP LaserJet M1319f MFP, but are not getting a .PDF option. Printing and scanning with the Windows 8 Operating System is described as basic. The .PDF file type should be available regardless, of the software being basic or full feature. Take a look at this HP document: How to Scan: Windows 8 to learn about the different ways to scan.
    See if those methods of scanning gives you the .PDF file type.

  • HP laserjet m1536dnf mfp print and scan is very slow

    Hi Sir/Madam,
    HP laserjet m1536dnf mfp print and scan is printing and scanning slow on network. Sometimes scan is not work. That's why I have to reinstall the printer driver. So how to increase print speed?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi riz1_4444,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand the printer is printing and scanning slow on the network.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Make sure printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.
    Try printing a hardware test on the printer to see if it prints slow or not.
    Printing a Configuration Report. Select Method one: Print a Configuration Report from the printer control panel.
    I would restart the router to see if this will resolve the issue.
    Try another Ethernet cable.
    If you are still having issue then test the printer by connecting the printer to the computer by a USB cable to see if it is something on the network that is causing it to slow down.
    Hope this resolves your issue for printing slow over the network.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer - Communication Failure with the scanner

    Dear all,
    May I kindly ask if there are any known resolutions in terms of a scanning issue with the HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer?
    When it starts scanning the printer only scans the up to the 3rd or 4th page, it stops in the middle of the sheet and produces an error message stating the following: Communication Failure with the scanner.
    Are there any steps that may be followed in order to resolve the incident?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Ryan

    Hi @Ryan_HP ,
    I see that you are experiencing a communication error during scanning of multiple pages. I would like to help, but I will need some more information to provide you with the correct steps to resolve this issue.
    If you are using Windows, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software, just to rule out any interference.
    Try scanning again.
    What operating system are you using?
    How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    What scanning software are you using?
    Have a wonderful day!
