     Hi Fay.  I have an HP printer/scanner/copier and it`s very good.  Prints off quickly and very good copier.  The wireless connection with mine is first class.... I want to print something switch on the printer and ..... whoosh, there you go.  I think mine is an HP 110, if that`s any use.  Have a look on your browser for them.

Don't buy a Canon ! Whilst they have good print quality they also spend a lot of time cleaning the print heads and using ink making them very expensive to run.  I recently bought a Brother MFC-J825DW off Amazon but although it seems to sip ink and text quality is good I haven't done any colour prints yet.  My experience with the older Epson's has been good but not sure what the latest models are like.

Don't buy an Epson either. You want a make that has the ink head integrated into the cartridge so when you buy a new cartridge you get a new printhead. Epsons have a habit of clogging up unless you use them regularly as you use the same printhead all the time.

Thanks for your advice, but I have just come back with an Epson scanner/copier/printer. i was always pleased with print quality of photos on my Epson 915.
only just seen your replies
