Well my old HP 7210 all in one bit the dust. I went to Office Max and picked up a HP 6500 all in one the other day and I can only say I am very disappointed with it. Noisy as hell, shakes the entire desk and has jammed 5 times on me. Needless to say I am returning it for exchange.
Anybody got any suggestions for a reasonably priced(under 200) all in one machine?

At work we use the "Epson Workforce 610"... does it all and it quiet, not very large, and even has a fax.... It's an inkjet. Not sure on current price but I'm positive it's below your $200 wants.

Get HP laserjet 3055. I have 1 that was purchased brand new and a used one from craigslist in our home office. Great all in one printer.

WARNING: do not order your toner from yemen.

I've got a Canon laser MF4100 all-in-one that works very well, is quiet, and the toner cartridges are really cheap (and not from Yemen)

I have a Brothers MCF-490. Under $200. The toner cartridges are stupid small and expensive. If one of the four cartridges shows low the printer will not print , even B&W. The color prints are nice, though.

My old HP croaked about a year ago, replaced it with a Lexmark X6675. Insanely long ink cartridge life, 2 paper jams in the entire time we've had it (about 150 pages printed per week on average). The software seems a little clunky and slow, and time to print the first page can be a little long first thing in the morning, but actual print speed is very fast for an ink jet.

www.pcworld.com (http://www.pcworld.com) always has in-depth ratings of these things. I usually go there for reviews before buying any electronics. As it happens, they have a review right now on "The Top 10 Inkjet Multifunction Printers" at http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/collection/1675/top_10_inkjet_multifunction_printers.html

Is on closeout at Fry's.com for $77 shipped. http://www.frys.com/product/6000798 I have one I bought a year ago for $100 and like it so much I bought another as a spare. Ink is cheap and it is quiet. The only feature I do not like is it has no document feeder for copy's.

There is a newer one that has a feeder for about $150. I am not sure how much you need a copier but it does scan/copy pretty fast.

We have one of the $500 HP all in ones at work and it blows through ink like no tomorrow.

I've gone through a lot of printers and have always liked HP. Epson's have always given me trouble. I have the HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one that has been great but I don't use it heavily.

I have an MP140 that I used in Kuwait, shipped to the states and still run the hell out of.

Cartridges are everywhere
Software is easy to use
Has a "night time" Function in software

I am just really happy with it.


Besides "Bert" if you expect me to support it... you might as well get a canon :D

I went with a lexmark from Office something or other, after i asked them to sell me on one vs. another. They went to the HP first then a few others including Lexmark. My reply regarding the LM was, not convinced due to cartridge cost. he told me LM has the lowest priced cartridge replacement on the market. I looked at customer support, warranty etc and oddly enough the LM won out. I ended up with the LM PRO901, printer, copier, fax, wifi ready, insert flash drive to print directly to copier I'm happy.
