Looking at features, automatic doc feeder is important, right? Also, if just have a laptop (thinking of ditching desktop if I get a laptop) seems it would be nice to have wireless control of printing (whatever the term) so printer can be in different location than laptop. Do I have this right, that the wireless control would allow this, without connections with a cable, limiting spatial arrangement? If so, how far apart can laptop and printer be? Maybe I'm over-thinking this whole thing!
