Laser obviously, Brother MFC series printer are great, I use Brother MFC 4200, its a great item. Simple, sleek,easy to install, looks great on the table - truly executive. HP are too complicated, sleek at times, but bulky, brother are not bulky, in HP all-in-one printers, if a scanner bulb is gone, the entire printer is useless !! HP normal printers are the best, but all-in-one's I would vote for Brother...

You can try paperless printer. It gets installed in your system and anything that you can print can be converted into jpg, pdf etc.

You really only have two choices - the cannon or hp.  Both color - both have battery options, both ink jet.\nMy organization uses both for extensive travel & I own both.  The biggest problems are paper feed and the types of paper the use.  They are not for high volume but the cannon "holds" a few more sheets than the HP.  GO to a store and try them both. - best bet - if you travel for business - many hotels etc have business centers that will allow you to connect to their printers.  I am also interested in portable printers with wireless options.

I use an ink jet printer on a daily basis and i just use ordinary photocopier paper.\n\nMost photocopy paper is universal now and works well with most machines.\n\nJust use a specialised paper when you want something to look high quality.\n\nOrdinary paper wont damage your machine

If you want to use it for the web, then Flash is the best. Otherwise Photoshop and CorelDraw r the best for print-ables. The can be easy to use as they are the widely used softwares and you can find their tutorials on the Internet.

I recommend the HP 460 mobile printer. I'm not sure what you view as "affordable", but this printer costs $250. It comes with a battery that will print 450 pages per charge, and weighs a little under 5 pounds.\n\nHP have always made good printers and PC Magazine has rated them Reader's Choice for the past 15 years. Despite the somewhat high cost, this would be a good printer for you. Canon makes a similar printer, but I'm not so sure that it runs off a battery (it instead uses your cigarette lighter, the HP has the ability also).\n\nHere's a link that will give you more info on the HP 460c mobile printer.

Laser printers. They yield so much more for the ink (which is toner) for the buck. The text is super crisp, just like in a magazine. And last much longer. Pages print super fast. There isn't any "printing alignment" that you have to do. You just put the toner cartridge in and you're good to go. They're so much better and easier on your wallet in the end. Think about it: four cartridges at about 30 bucks is 120 bucks. Maybe around 40 pages each is about 160 pages. A toner cartridge with even just low yield is around 80 bucks average, with around 2000 to 5000 pages yield.\n\nNo messy ink cartridges. And many of them you can exchange with companies that will sell you "refilled" toners at a cheaper cost.\n\nYou can get a black and white laser printer for around a hundred bucks now, and color for around 300.

The best software is Avid. Of course, their upper range systems are probably out of your price range, but ExpressPro is very affordable. Check it out at http://www.avid.com/products/xpresspro/index.asp

eBay is quite good or just go to any computer shop like PC World, PC Components. You may find very good all in one printer.

I have a wireless 4in1 faxer, scanner, color printer, and color copier that you can also plug a camera into. It's a HP desktop 2700 i believe. It rocks. It hasn't broken down yet and i've had it for about 9 months.

Depends on what you kind of printing you want to do.  The overall quality of these three manufacturers can vary depending on which kind of machine you get.  Epson might not have the best quality all-in-one machines, but they have more expensive photo printers that are high quality.  HP has good quality for printing text, but on most of their machines the photo quality might be lacking when compared with other manufacturers.\n\nIf you want to just look at the whole picture, then they would probably rank: Canon, HP and Epson.  Canon doesn't have a ton of machines, but even their least expensive ones are usually pretty good quality.  That's what sets them apart from the other two because HP and Epson sell junky entry-level machines that aren't as good as the rest of their models.  Other than that, Epson machines generally require a little more maintenance than HP machines, so that's why they would probably be ranked behind them.

Usually the best is the most expensive, and the cheapest is not the best.\n\nUse OmniPage for the best one.\nUse (The software bundled with your scanner) as the cheapest

If you don't plan on using it a whole bunch, you might consider the HP 5440. It costs about $70 and the black and color cartridge can be bought together in a pack for $30. \n\nIf you do quite a bit of printing take a look at the HP 5940 ($100) as it's built a little heftier and also comes with cartridges that last longer but cost a little more.\n\nThe HP 6980 is another good choice since it comes with wireless networking and costs about $150. It also has cartridges that last longer.\n\nHP printers are the best selling printers by far in the United States and PC Magazine's readers have voted them the best 14 years in a row.

Assuming you have a phone line, then yes. We have a scanner/copier/printer/fax combo that I use all of the time to fax documents to others. It doesn't cost us a thing. You just need the right software.
