A reliable multi-function printer for $300? Not possible. My recommendation is the Brother MFC-9970CD. I purchased one for my wife's office, it has printed *everything* - even the most brain-damaged PDF form @&^&@$ crap I've thrown at it. Stuff that would kill any Kyocera or our previous HP. And the scanning always works well. Have really zero complaints about this printer, which is a first - for any printer I've had to live with. But it is twice your price point - which is where you need to be for anything that just-always-works. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us/> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
