Hi alll, I see inkjet multifunction centres have been discussed here
recently, but I can't see a discussion of laser printers. Looking for a
B&W laser-fax-copier. We have two AlBooks and an Airport Extreme base
station, can plug the powerbooks in directly to the printer when needed,
but one that will talk to the base station would be even better if this
doesn't cost vastly more.

Price is a key point as is ease of use. Quality of printing not
particularly important within fairly broad limits - this would mainly be
for printing PDFs to read at home etc, not for publishing work.

We're in the Northern Suburbs so near Joondalup applecentre, Dick Smith,
Harvey Norman. Advice on what to get and where would be greatly
appreciated.

IMHO, get a scanner and a laser printer. That way you won't have to replace both of them when one breaks, or be without one while the other's being repaired. Also, you can get a decent scanner and a decent laser printer rather than combined mediocre ones. Or not have both out of order if there isn't a software update available yet.

I think Harvey Norman had Lexmark lasers reasonably cheap last week. No idea what they're like though.

As for fax, there are numerous on-line fax options. Or pick up a cheap fax machine.

But hey, I'm sure you knew most of that :)

Have fun,
Shay
