I bought a seccy hand HP Colour LaserJet 4700, it's massive, duplex, two extra trays, mostly full carts, ethernet, not wifi, no scan, no fax but it's A1 as a printer, sleeps like it;s off, prints fast, cartridges refillable (with a hack - ie drilling a hole) so far, A1.
£200
Epson Inkjet that does scan, fax. wifi etc drank ink and complained about blocked nozzles and alignment, now in the shed in the Ebay pile (ie will stay there till I'm on Ch 5 IT Hoarders and can't move....)

Many thanks for the replies, which I hope have benefited others as well as myself.
God, so that's another reason to avoid ink jets in general - Not only are their ink cartridges expensive, but they swig ink each time they are turned on!
edit: although the Brother DCP-J725DW which Platypus mentioned looks OK. I think I'll order thatLast edited by OwlHoot; 1 September 2012, 21:23.

Sorry, let me explain. I looked both these up on Amazon.co.uk
Canon Pixma MG8150 or the Samsung CLX 3185FW
and I read the one star reviews (each has several) and there's enough bad there that I will avoid both.
The Canon drinks ink and as for the Samsung, several are "very disappointed" with.
To be fair, each also has many 5 star reviews.
EDIT: just thought I'd mention it. I'd not trying to pee on your cornflakes, just looking for a similar device myself.
I spotted this one and passed the details on to the GF.

Are you sure a modern inkjet wouldn't do? They will surely have fixed the hardware/firmware for the PDF issue and they will be a lot smaller than an laser.
Here is a review of the more popular ones but a number of them talk about cost of toner. The HP Laserjet Pro works out at 22p/pp

Nifty, compact laser printer/FAX/scanner suggestions
My father has an ink-jet printer, which is almost as old as he is and doesn't seem to properly align images and text boxes and suchlike in certain PDFs.
So any recommendations for a bang up to date and reliable compact laser printer/FAX/scanner (not ink-jet) would be much appreciated.
It must be compact enough to fit in an alcove, say not much larger than a typical A4 scanner. He only prints two or three sheets at a time, always A4, and so doesn't need one with a great big paper tray or more than one tray.
As usual, money no object. I'd rather pay a bit more for reliability - I mean it'll only be a couple of hundred at the most I would have thought.
Double-sided printing would be a bonus, but I'm guessing that and a shoe box size are fairly mutually exclusive. FAX and scanner functionality are more important.
