Every few years our household has occasion to buy one or more Mac Books, MacBook Pros, and/or desktops. Over the last 8-10 years, it seems that every time we buy, Apple has some "special deal" on a printer. Usually we get one free with the computer purchase or we pay $100 to get a MSRP $200 printer. They used to favor Canon but for the last several iterations the bundled printer has been an HP 3-in-1: copier, printer, scanner. All functions have worked well enough on all HP's we have had (and similar Canons before that). The ink cost is mind-boggling; fortunately we also have a 15-year old HP laser printer, their smallest model, and we use that when printing anything more than a few pages. Cost about $350 new in 1998 IIRC. It just keeps on working . . .
