Hi Lara One model that you might want to look at is the Brother. My Mum uses the Brother 8840D which is a Laser Multifunction unit with fax. It works really well. Replacement toner cartridges are well priced and the unit is easy to set up and work. I'm not 100% sure if it would work with the Base Station, but in saying that you'd still have to unplug it to use the scanner features as the Airport only allows the Printer part to work. They aren't *terribly* expensive. The 8840D sells for RRP$1199 and the 8840 for $949, and they work well with the Mac too! :o) <http://www.brother.com.au/Products/MFC_productoverview.asp?ProductID=151&Su bCategoryID=2> As for somewhere to buy,...I hear MacWizardry can do them for a good price. :o) (Hey,..can't blame me for saying) :o)) Worth a look anyway. Hope that helps. Kind Regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <danielATmacwizardryDOTcomDOTau> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh**
