i'm looking for a new multifunction printer. it must be able to print color/scan/copy/fax well your basic multifunction abilities.

as for the fax, the printer must have it's own modem meaning i can fax through the printer instead of through my pc's modem. currently i don't care abt the price so yea any good recommendations is greatly appreciated. i'll do my own research from there lol.

i've been looking for some but argh sumtimes you can't trust those reviews and well it's easier to trust reviews given by people around your age O.o? anywho yeaaaaa help me out thanks.

multifunction = krappe systems! 8)
get an hp or epson or sony printer, then get a cannon scanner, then get your bum *** an efax account, i think they're still free! and your computer can function as a fax ( :? guessing you r an uB3r fr3s|-|m4n)

I don't think everyone has the money to invest in a separate printer and scanner though and pc faxing has its annoyances.

Muilt-functions do sometimes not work properly, but it costs a lot of money and takes up a lot of space to get everything seperately. And no, look at the sig, he's not a freshman.

I have a hp psc 950 multifunction (now no longer created, replaced by hp psc 2xxx series), hp business inkjet 1100 printer, hp ScanJet 6200 (really old), and an Epson C60. The Epson is !@#$py and sometimes acts up but everything else never let me down. All of them have been reliable for the last few years.

im in dr blozy's class. erm i do have an efax free account meaning i can't send lol. the thing is, we don't use fax a lot, so it really depends on if my mom would wanna pay for efax or a all in one printer. i want an aio (all in one) because yea like they said, my table is really full. i had the X1150 Lexmark series but it broke on me -_- well ok maybe the fax aint important. but definitely scanner and printer in one. so yea thanks guys for the suggestions, and if anyone else has any, please do post them.

What's the price on that thing? ANY printer with wifi is bound to cost a lot.
And it's multi-function as well... 8O

Just buy it from an authorized hp dealer.
