Wireless Printer

[100%Red&White]

Can anyone recommend a wireless printer?

 

Tesco/Argos have currently got a few on offer around £40-£50, namely HP 3050, Lexmark S405 and an Epson one, all similar spec but reviews say a bit juicy and expensive on the inks – but what’s new there?

 

My nipper wants the new iPad 2 so would need to be compatible.

 

Any suggestions?

Canon seem to be leading the market at the moment. Good quality, esp photos, and inks are not the most expensive.

This one on offer at Argos right now - will have to look into if it'll work OK with an iPad as this is the main reason for going wireless.

I have this one. http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:{referrer:source%3F}&rlz=1I7GFRD_en&q=epson+wireless&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=11625600298241327965&sa=X&ei=_JfKTZnQB8aFhQfn89yoAg&ved=0CGsQ8wIwAw#

 

I'm not sure about ipads, but i print from my iphone4 to it using a free app called ePrint.

Nice little printer for the price. Good for basic printing and not too bad for photos. I know it's always easy to say spend a little bit more, but if your budget can stretch to it, have a look at the Canon Pixma MG5250, £130 in Argos, but £99 at Amazon.

I bought a 3050 for home a couple of months ago. It's Ok. Not particularly fast but fine for home use.

 

We tried a number of Canons at work but found them a bit heavy on cartridges.

Cheers fellas.

 

Having had a look it seems Apple recommend HPs for use with iPads. I've seen this one

generally decent reviews, some have had a few issues including if, like me, you've got AVG on your 'pooters. As we've already got a half-decent Epson I'm not looking to spend too much on a wireless as it's really for the kids with their lappys and, once he's saved enough, my nippers iPad.

 

Thanks for the advice.

Cheers Jonnyboy, another to consider.

We've got a Lexmark 3600. Don't know if it works with an iPad though. It was cheap - because we'd actually gone into the shop to replace cartridges and it was cheaper to buy a new printer (crazy!).

Nice one - might go for that. Dixons currently selling it for around £150 and comes with extra large ink cartridges and 5-year warranty.

 

Cheers.
