Hi All,
What is a good multi function laser printer? You know, the ones that can laser print but also copy, scan and fax. This avoids cluttering the office with individual units. It also avoids the occasional cussing that follows when the copier heater came on while the printer was going and tripped the breaker.
One that seems ok is the 'Brother MFC-8440'. Thing is, you can't try these out at the store which is why I am asking for experiences from an engineer's perspective. Or maybe you have another one that you could recommend. It has to be able to print hi-res schematics properly, scan data sheets, and toner/drum replacements should not cost a fortune.
Also, if you happen to have a recommendation for a small and cheap (meaning low cartridge cost) color inkjet I'd appreciate that. That one should be able to print circuit board pictures, scope screen shots etc.
One issue is drivers. Dell often mentions that certain types of their printers are only compatible with XP and 2000. That would not be good.
Regards, Joerg
