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.

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).

I use one so little that I was happy to get rid of the bulk of the last one, but I am also tired of asking friends to print things for me. I've also packed up my desktop scanner and miss that too. Funny enough, a few weeks ago I needed a copy of a document emailed to a government agency and I was able to scan it then email it, a first for me. I was incredibly pleased that the letter scanned well and was considered just as legitimate as an original document. Is a "airprint capable printer" more desirable than a wireless printer? Would the menus on the phone be just as easy to use as those from a document on a PC? I want something streamlined. I imagine the topic of printers and i Phones has been discussed in full and exists in archives, but getting into the group through google is not fun.
