I want to get myself a printing solution which will offer me fax capabilities, high quality scanning, network printing (so i don't have to keep turning my damn desktop on when printing from my laptop), and good quality colour/photo printing whilst offering rapid black/white document printing.

I have selected the HP Photosmart 3310 (£253) and the HP Colour Laserjet 2600n (£210). I want to connect both of them to my wireless router, either through wireless or ethernet, I don't care, as long as it is the router which they are wired to and not a pc.

Any1 offer any advice or see any issues, know a single printing solution which is cheaper and still offer high-quality print? I would rather stick with HP though because I know and trust their printers, but epsom isn't 2 bad either. Is there a major quality difference of laser colour printing vs. ink colour printing? Which is better to print photos?

Thanks.

HP CLJ 2480. I own it, and it is a great printer, just a little noisy.

There is a major major major difference between laser and inkjet. Laser is much cheaper to run, just a little more expensive to buy. Laserjets are very good for printing photos, but they are not necessarily designed to do so.

Yeah, if you do 50+ pages a week then laser if definitely the way to go. I would suggest a Brother MFC9420 of the Epson CX11 over the HP. Although all three are good options, the Brother would a cheaper initial machine and the supplies are much cheaper later as well. Plus, it's faster!
