Looking for an all in one printer for scan/copy/print - some photo work but mostly text.
Like to hear from anyone's good/bad experiences.
Thanks
I live in China, and my selection is pretty limited (at places where I can use my credit card!), so I bought a really really cheapo Canon M150. I expected it to be really crappy, but in fact the SW for scanning works great, and the print quality is fine.
It's nothing very special, just a single color / black cartridge. Copy is about as intuitive as you could imagine (place doc, hit button), and color copies look great (almost indistingushable from the original!). They have a software program called MP navigator that you can use for scanning, and you can do multi-page scans pretty easily (no document feeder, just load one after the other and it pumps out a multi-page PDF).
If you're looking for super-good print quality, like printing photos, then this is probably not the printer for you. But if you just want a basic scan/print/fax, this one has worked out for me.
Hard to beat at 9000CNY (about $115, it's probably ~ $100 in US).
