HP PSC 500 refurbished multifunction printer $139

[Headache]

This seems like a good deal to me and a better machine than the Canon machine in the previous post. Just search under PSC 500 in Staples.com and use the $30 coupon, and wholla! You'll get yourself a flatbed copier (up to 400X), a scanner (600x2400 I believe), and a decent $150 value inkjet printer. I read some reviews, and they all say it's a good machine that does its job right.
Eventhough it's refurbished, I think you still get a 1 year warranty. I think the retail value I've seen is $269-399.
Hope it's helpful.

This is what I'm looking for the price. Do you know if this already comes with ink or do I have to buy some for it?

Too bad this is not USB, otherwise I'll pick one up. Thanks for the deal though.

HKSturboKID-

Thanks for the heads-up on the lack of USB

Didn't matter much to me known I got some spare IRQ'a in Win2k.. this is a very good deal for what I need though I rather have USB.

I thought I would add another "word of caution".

1. This unit (PSC 500) uses the #15 Black Cartridge. This has half of the ink as the #45 ink cartridge. If you do moderate to heavy printing, you will be going through ink twice as fast as HP's other All-In-Ones.

2. The console (i.e. the unit itself) does not have very many options and buttons. It can do shrink, enlarge, change paper types, etc.. but that is about it. If you want to do any fancier copying you need to use the software thru the PC. So be careful if you want to do any cropping or "advanced" copying functions with this unit -- you will be tied to the computer.

The original unit (i.e. non-refurbished) has a one year warranty. I would assume this would still have that full one-year warranty as well.

As long as you do not print a super-heavy workload of black copies/prints I would say this is a great buy. I would highly recommend it. If you do print a lot of black, then you may find yourself spending $30 a lot more than you anticipated !!

Hope this helps,
