Here are my needs

*  Occasional color printing - very few photos (can go to Walgreens or
Wal-Mart for those).  I am not a high volume printer for anything even
in b&w but print a few pages every couple of days.  I strongly prefer
separate colors since I use the magenta and cyan about 3 times more
than yellow.

*  Semi-frequent scanning but does not need to be HIGH quality

*  LOW COST to purchase and operate.

*  Need to print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro running 10.5.5 and
also print from a Sawtooth G4.  I can share the printer which would be
attached to the Sawtooth G4 also running 10.5.5.  Alternatively the
printer could be attached to a network or be wireless.  If necessary I
could physically connect the laptop to the printers and scanners since
the G4 will be getting less and less use.  However I hate to keep
plugging and unplugging for fear of damaging my ports on the laptop.

* Limited space

I was thinking of a low cost multi-function inkjet WITH a low cost b&w
printer.  However, I am concerned that an inkjet printer will clog if
used infrequently. I have no objections to a low cost multi-function
laser but haven't really seen a low cost one.  I still would need a
color printer that can sit idle for weeks w/o clogging or drying out.
Maybe I should just get a single multi-function inkjet and if that is
all I have, it will be used enough it won't dry out.

Thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks - Marty
