Can anyone recommend a decent all in one Printer/scanner/copier for my Mac. I have about £80 to spend but wondered if any of the £50 - 60 ones were any good.

cheers

I always used Epson, but then thought I'd try a Lexmark for a change. Im using the all in one Lexmark X3480, seems great, only 1 cartridge, which is cheap, lasts long enough, and the printer was only about 30 - 40. I think however now you can buy an even higher model for similar money, so I can definately recommend it. Good scanner quality, good print / copy quality.

I have always had a problem with lexmark as i felt they were of poor quality. May have a look as they are very well priced.

I've got two Canon Pixma's - bit more money, but great pieces of kit - they do excellent printing to CD/DVD too.... very happy with them.

Lots of lovely Epson printers at PcWorld ,Purley Way yesterday, they where doing the RX560 for £99 which does it all inc cd printing, if you dont want cd printing you can get one from about £59

Cheers boys, looks like a trip to Purley Way.

The Canon's do come out best in a Mac magazine i have so worth looking at plus they are apparently cheap to run!

I;ve had an epson cx3200 for three years now with no problem, not sure if they still sell that model though.

Canon pixma mp450 is the one ive got...suberb clarity...and has card reader and screen built in..picked it up for £84 from scan.co.uk

I would avoid Lexmark - my one went bang (literally) last week and I won't be replacing it. I'm getting an HP all in one from PCW for about £50.

I have always had HP but wondered if others were better. I'll have a trip to PCW and Curry's as they are nest to each other.

Cheers

HP every time if you can stretch to it the PSC2575

Epson only really good for workhorse dot matrix printers

Cannon -- Inkjet endless problems with clogged nozzels, laser printers are fine.

Lexmark -- good but SOHO printers are very slow.

Brother very very good soho laser printers, I haven't tried the inkjets.

I've just got a HP 2575 - very impressed with the print quality. Only real downside is the cost of ink... but I don't use a lot anyway. Big selling point for me was its direct connection to my ethernet router.
