Which is the best multi-function printer, fax, scanner, copier for the iMac?

Judging from the ratings I found on macworld.com and from my own personal experience, I'd recommend any of the following Brother multi-function devices: MFC-8440, MFC-8820D, or MFC-8840D.  I wouldn't recommend HP for an all-in-one, as I've had too many problems with their all-in-one software getting corrupted.

It is an okay 3 in one.  Don't get it if you print more then seldom.  the ink is small and will run out fast.  the scanner is low end but good for two dimensional scanning/copying\n\nIf you want a good but not expensive 3 in one get a Epson Stylus CX4200.  Price tag is under 100 bucks and has mail in rebates of 20 dollars.  Scanner is great and prints great.  good value cartidges!\n\n~officemax employee

None!  Get a printer and seperate scanner.  The printer part is usually not up to par.  Communication can be ambigous (talking to printer or scanner) although not as bad with Mac.  And come on, it's not that hard to scan an image and print it out.  When one breaks, you replace the broken one.

Definitely use Hewlett-Packard. Of all the printers I have bought they've never let me down and any other brand has been a sheer disappointment, not to mention the fact they're fast, quiet and economical.\n\nUnlike Canon, HP replace the printhead along with the ink so every time you get a new cartridge, you can be certain you won't have poor quality and 4,800 DPI on an HP means 4,800!\n\nMaybe Lexmark or Dell, but if you want something affordable, economical, quiet, fast, sleek, compatible and quality I would not go past an HP-PSC. With an integrated printer, scanner and photocopier along with card-readers (if you buy the more expensive models) you get it all for an extremely low price.\n\nHewlett-Packard mean low price - high quality.

Check out the HP PSC 1510 All-One-Printer.  Cost less than $90 and prints, scans, and copies.  I also got $20 rebate at costco. \nE

That depends partly on your printing needs - do you need something that's generally good at both text and graphics, something that's better at graphics and ok with text, or something mainly for text with ok graphics output.  There's a good review for you to look at on pcworld.com - see link.

I use an HP Deskjet, All-in-one. It was cheaper, but It serves as a printer, scanner, photocopier, and fax, all at once. I quite like HP, their printers also work under Linux.

There are many types of macs depending on your budget and use.  If you are a video, photo or audio professional, for example, a dual-G5 is great.  No need to move over to the Quad or Intel processors yet since the programs haven't been yet tweaked to get the most speed out of them.  For an all around great machine on a budget, the iMac is an all in one tha fits the entire computer behind a 2 inch thick flat panel display.. and it has a webcam built right into the front!  The cheapest option if you have the peripherals would be a mac mini.  Just plug in your monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers .. and even your firewire devices .. and off you go!  Check out apple's site for more.

If nothing else (I used to work for dell and when I worked there there was no support or drivers for Apple OS systems), you could install the new software from apple called Boot Camp and get a copy of a windows XP cd (not an upgrade version) and install windows XP on your apple system in order to use the printer.

Xerox has the best quality. Glossy magazine capable picture perfect graphics.  Support holds them back abit.\n\nHP has the best value. Good color and outstanding support balance for a great value.
