I agree with everyone who said to stay away from inkjet printers AND who recommend HP. My HP laser is so old that the model is irrelevant; I bought it about 12 years ago for $100 (half price sale, had been $200) and it just keeps cranking away. I use it for faxing, as I send maybe two faxes a month. It's black only; I need color about twice a year, so I can take a document I need printed in color on a flash drive to any store that offers this service. On the other hand, I scan more frequently, so for my convenience I have a separate Canon scanner. Don't pay for features that you will use infrequently. I buy toner cartridges online for about $40 each, and they last for an amazing number of pages (depending, of course, on how much ink is used on each page). Read reviews and keep an eye out for sales.
