Re: printers that work with the I phone

[Richard Turner]

This may be something that Aira or Be My Eyes could help with.
Which model do you have?
I'll ask my wife to look it up.
If you know the steps involved, I'm sure it wouldn't take more than a few 
minutes for an Aira or Be My Eyes agent to walk you through it.

We have a Brother all in one, that at least the printer portion works great, 
but I am not sure I could use the fax or scanner/copier function.
My sighted wife bought it for the copy/scanner function, and was happy to 
discover the printing works perfectly with the iPhone/iPad without the need for 
an app.
But, it was about $180.
There are other Brother laser-jets that work fine with VoiceOver.
 Just make sure it says it supports AirPrint.

Ugh. Just looking up the Brother printers which Keith recommended was an 
ordeal. Some of the older models don't have proprietary cartridges but others 
do.  

But most have been stable, and there are generic substitutes. For example, our 
5240DN and the 2700DW (12 years younger) take the same consumables 
(toner+fuser). So "proprietary" doesn't have to mean expensive or hard to get. 
Indeed, for the cost per page, the Brother has been exceptionally cheap, as we 
often use aftermarket clones of the proprietary toner, and each toner cartridge 
lasts us more than a year (with our inkjet printers, if we don't print 
regularly, we waste a lot of ink clearing the heads ;<).

 

Accessibility is all over the map, and I'm not in a good position to evaluate 
the various models. The relatively low cost MFC models (typically less than 
$140) would appear to be a bit challenging on the accessibility front. But once 
set up, probably pretty usable for most operations.

 

Scans are as good as originals for most purposes (but I have no idea how one 
would be able to judge in an accessible fashion!). you hadn't mentioned a 
particular weight goal, since you had spoken of printing and scanning, I 
suggested their MFC (multi-function copier) series.

 

As for snapshots, while some of the apps do a fairly acceptable job, it's 
fundamentally harder/less accurate to have to shoot at an angle and correct vs. 
the scanner having a truly flat scan surface. So if you are trying to eliminate 
paper, I'd go with a scanner.

 

if lightweight is critical, something like the Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable 
Scanner may do the trick.

 

If you have a lot of paper to convert, Epson and Fujitsu make duplex scanners 
(that is, both sides of the page in one go). The Fujitsu ScanSnaps are highly 
rated, but run about $400-500 (new). For full sized paper, these are easier to 
use than flatbeds. However, if you are doing small paper (e.g. receipts) the 
flatbeds may be easier. But before destroying the originals, someone should 
verify that the scan is clear and readable ... and I have no idea how one would 
do that in a properly accessible manner.

 

Book pages are probably most easily captured with a manual scanning device 
(some are pretty inexpensive) but its pretty hard to ensure good results. I've 
got a small vuepoint https://www.vupointsolutions.com/magic-wand which *can* 
produce a good scan, but it takes good hand/eye coordination (and sometimes a 
couple of tries) so I'd rate it as probably a bad bet w.r.t. accessibility.

 

Meanwhile an architect friend says get rid of all paper. digitize everything. 
Are scans really that good or at least snapshots of anything you scan don't 
lie, do they? It's only if you need accurate optical recognition where it gets 
tricky.

Snaps usually can be spotted vs. a scanned image. If the goal is to have it 
look as much like the original as possible ... I'd avoid snaps. 

 

So, do you want/need a combined unit (printing/scanning)? Do you need color 
(print? scan??). Can you get by with only the normal operations being 
accessible? (having an assistant for the less common operations?). Do you have 
a ton of existing paper to convert, or just a document or two infrequently? If 
it's pretty infrequent, using a local Kinkos might not be a bad solution.

['deidre muccio' via VIPhone]

Ugh. Just looking up the Brother printers which Keith recommended was an 
ordeal. Some of the older models don't have proprietary cartridges but others 
do.  Some have touch screens, some scan, some weigh  as much as 22 pounds. That 
sure is not what I am looking for.

Meanwhile an architect friend says get rid of all paper. digitize everything. 
Are scans really that good or at least snapshots of anything you scan don't 
lie, do they? It's only if you need accurate optical recognition where it gets 
tricky.

The brother printers (say MFC27xx family) do a good job, have a low cost per 
page and there's an app for "airprint" (generically it's got wifi and hardwire 
ethernet).

 

I rather like Epson for color/photograph printing, but any inkjet costs more 
per page than a "laser" printer, and the inkjets tend to clog if you don't 
print regularly.

We've got more than 12 years from an older brother (5250DN) and the toner 
cartridges are the same for the 2700 (low cost generic replacements work well 
too).

RE: Printers

[M. Taylor]

Hello Ann,

What a kind gesture.  

I can only give you a general answer as how each of them connects to the 
Internet from home will factor a great deal upon what options are available.  

Again generally speaking, if they use a WiFi home network, then purchase a 
printer that has an Ethernet connection port on it and you should be good to 
go.  

Both iOS and Android phones are very compatible with Samsung and HP printers.  
However, personally, I prefer Samsung printers as the hardware quality, in my 
opinion, is much better.  

I suggest that you get a laser printer as opposed to an inkjet printer.  While 
the initial cost of an inkjet printer is far less than a laser, by about $100 
or so, the laser is much more cost efficient in the proverbial long run.  

Again, generally speaking, in the USA, at least, you can expect to pay between 
$150 and $200 for a nice Ethernet enabled color laser printer.  

One more thing, some printers offer wireless printing,  While such a setup is 
very convenient, my experience has been that one must take more care to both 
configure and maintain such a configuration.

Good luck and I am certain that whatever printer you purchase will make them 
very happy.

Mark

My children have a mixed phone marriage--he has an Android and she has an

printer that works with an iPhone also work with an Android???

Re: Printers with buttons

[erik burggraaf]

Actually, The touch screen thing, it's sort'a a non issue.  So is the airprint 
thing.  You still have to be a careful consumer and make sure that the admin 
panel is accessible and there's a supported printing solution for your IPhone.  
Most wireless printers these days have such offerings.

Buy something that looks cute on your desk, matches your office space, has the 
printing/scanning options you want.  In that order of course, laughs.

Best,

Re: Printers with buttons

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I agree that the screen is not that important unless you are using the
features it provides. If you don't want an all-in-one I like the HP
8100.
