All-in-One monochrome Laser printer suggestions.

[Pumice]

Need a Multifunction/All-In-One Laser printer.

I do require Double Sided printiing
I do not require color printing.
Speed is not important.

Budget is between $150-$200, prefer to stay under $150.


Thanks

At that price point many brands and models of lasers would fit your spec's. But you should also include how big your expected yearly printing volume is expected to be, it cost a little extra to get high volume toner cartridge capacity that will become recommended if your yearly printing volume is high.

watch slickdeals and fatwallet, they'll have deals come through every so often on laser MFC devices

for instance, this was $130 earlier this week

adorama has this for $134


but some questions:
is networking important? wireless networking?
is fax important? being able to send AND receive from a computer?
does it need to be mac compatible?

some of the older ones don't have vista/7 drivers or certain features don't work under vista/7, so check the amazon reviews carefully

Networking not important. Wireless is preferred but not a decider.
Absolutely need Fax , send and receive. No need for Mac compatibility.

I will print occasionaly, so not high volume.


So what do you all think of this Canon?

i'm partial to the brother line, and Amazon has MFC-7340 for $140 shipped, but the Canon should be a fine choice

however the Canon cannot receive faxes to the PC while the Brother can

(the Canon can receive faxes, but it has to print them out directly and then if you want them on the PC you have to scan it back in)

Printing out instead of being able to store fax on computer is not important to me.

Which one gives best quality text and images ? Which toner lasts the longest?
