It depends on what kind of printing you do.  There are tons of  machines that are marketed as all-in-ones but that don't really focus on any of the other features.  A lot of all-in-ones have pretty sub par scanning/faxing features because most people rarely use them and therefore don't expect that much.  If you are someone who seriously uses the other features, then you might need to do a little more research into what you should get.\n\nCanon has some pretty good all-in-ones that don't skimp on the features.  Their machines are usually the cheapest to operate in the long run.  Newer HP machines can be pretty expensive to operate because their cartridges keep getting smaller and smaller.  Overall, if you want a good all-in-one, then you should probably go one step up from the entry-level model and you should stay away from Lexmark/Dell.

I like my Canon Pixma 4200\nGood colors, fast,  and ink cartridges are not very expensive.

HP sells a DeskJet 450 Mobile printer.  It fits into most laptop carrying bags.  The street price is dirt cheap.  However, if you want to print alot of pages, choose a LaserJet 1320.  It is higher quality, but to large to be portable.

All in one is OK to save space and money. But as real life experience, I have seen all in one printers have more problems than seperate printers. Seperate printers are heavy duty in general.

HP have always been reliable for me and my lot, though with the price of colour laser printers coming down it would be worth looking at them.\n\nI recently bought a 3 in 1, seems to be working good and I like being able to photcopy as well.

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.

Go with the HP.\n\nAs for the follow up most printers use alcohol based inks so smearing or even disappearing shouldn't be a problem.  \n\nAlthough it may be an idea to see if the store will provide you with a test page from the printer.  That way you will know for sure.

Anything Epson.. whatever you can afford.  They're the best.  We just upgraded to Epson Stylus Photo 2200.  It's SWEET!  But our other one was Epson Stylus CX3200 and that one was nice too.  We only upgraded cause we print off ALL of our photos and wanted to print 11*14.

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.

Ok, first of all, unless you are buying a laser printer that can handle input from DOS and uses an internal font, then the computer is sending VASTLY more than a few K to print even a simple letter.\n\nThe reason is that the image is sent over as (for example) a 600 x 600 dpi bitmap.  If you are printing a full page, it can be in the megabytes in theory.\n\nI do agree though, that the computer will handle this effortlessly.\n\nAs for whether this is a feature or not, it is a way to make the printer cheaper - like video cards that use the computers memory - if you are after a REALLY cheap printer, this might fit the bill nicely.\n\nDo bear in mind though, that COLOUR lasers can be found for under £200 / $400 if you shop around. It may be out of your price range, but if if "close", perhaps something to conisder....

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

Spending $400 simply isn't necessary when considering a photo printer. Because digital photography has become so popular, printer companies have jumped up the printing resolution, water-resistance, and fade resistance of photos. Many printers now offer 6-ink printing for color variations that are much better than what you'd expect at Wal-Mart- right in your own home. Within the past couple of months, the main printer companies have come out with new printers with more features than last year's models. Because I feel that HP makes the most reliable printers in the market (PC Magazine Reader's Choice award for printers 15 years in a row), I will recommend the following HP printers for digital photography. All photos are waterproof, fade-resistant up to 100 years, and professional quality.\n\nI may start off by saying that all these printers do regular document printing as well as photo printing. The only printers that are dedicated solely to printing photos are the 4x6 portable photo printers that several companies have come out with.\n\nHP Photosmart D7160 ($150)\nThis printer will do any size photo from small wallet sizes to 8x24 (yes, it will do 8x10). This printer uses HP's new 6-cartridge printing system. What that means is there is a cartridge for each individual color (yellow, cyan, magenta, etc) rather than one cartridge holding all the colors. That means you only have to replace the color that runs out, instead of replacing the entire tri-color cartridge where you may have plenty of yellow and cyan, but no magenta. The kicker is this: all 6 cartridges can be purchased together in a pack along with 150 sheets of 4x6 photo paper for under $40, effectively making this the cheapest photo printer to use on the market (averages out to about 24 cents per photo).\n\nHP Photosmart C5180 ($200)\nThis machine is exactly like the D7160, the only difference being that the C5180 can also copy and scan. These added features are a big bonus if you plan on using your printer for things other than photo printing. This is the machine I own. Same ink system as the D7160.\n\nHP Photosmart Pro B8350 ($350)\nThis machine is designed more for the digital photo hobbiest. You mentioned that you wanted a printer that would print 8x10 photos. That's fine, but it's hard to find picture frames that are 8x10. A more common picture size is 13x19. The B8350 prints up to 13x19 photos. This size is more ideal for family portraits as 8x10 is a tad too small. This is the printer I am recommending to you, as it is the best and most versatile printer in your price range.\n\nHP Photosmart C7180 ($400)\nJust like the C5180, only this one has fax also as well as built in wireless networking. It also has a built in slide/negative scanner so that you can actually print photos directly from your old slides and negatives without the help of a computer.\n\nHP Photosmart Pro B9180 ($700)\nThis is HP's Granddaddy of all photo printers. It's a bit out of your price range, but it's the best thing on the market. It prints up to 13x19, resists fading for 200 years, water-proof, and accepts a much wider variety of photos paper (like canvass for example) as well as normal photo paper. If you are looking for the best thing on the market, this is it.\n\nIf $700 is way out of your league, I recommend the HP B8350. Happy looking, I hope this helps.
