I have the same printer and love it. Small, WiFi and prints great. I’ve even printed photos on it.

I didn’t read all of the posts so apologize if repeating.

If you want occasional use then buy a cheap ink jet wireless printer. Most are under $40 are wireless and the ink is pretty cheap (Canon pixma is an example).

If you do a lot of printing get yourself a mid range brother laser 3-400. Otherwise printing services are cheaper and easier. Simply save all your files and when ready submit online or use a flash drive at a print kiosk at staples.

I recommend the HP or Cannon brands. Both are great. Both come with a WiFi wireless set up. I purchased the Cannon because it was Bluetooth too, not sure but I think HP makes one that is Bluetooth as well. One word of caution, the Bluetooth only works on Windows and not on iPad/iPhone which only works on WiFi.

I’ve had the same one for a couple of years and it’s worth every penny.

I bought a Brother MFC J680DW because it's relatively small and it fits perfectly in one of the cabinets in my bedroom by the rear TV. This means it has an outlet right next to it and it serves the whole motorhome as it's on the wifi network.

I chose that one because Brother is made in Japan, they are good, and you can buy about $1,000 worth of cartridges for it on e-bay for $39.95

One thing that almost everyone overlooks is the most important factor when buying a printer. How much are the cartridges? This is what comes back to byte you every time. Normally it's ~ $60 for a set from the store. I got 50 or so for $39.95....You can't do that with just any printer....

The cabinet door can be kept closed while it's printing. It's awesome and it cannot even go anywhere when you are driving. I would not buy a small/portable printer. I researched them prior to buying this one and none of the reviews were good and they are expensive and a compromise.

x3 on this printer. Ours is supposed to be WiFi but it never connects for some reason so we bought a printer cable.

Also the TurboScan app is great.

Brother HL-L2395DW Wireless Monochrome All-In-One Laser Printer

is on sale for $100 free shipping at a number of places: Staples, Amazon, B&H photo.

Decent reviews. I've had good luck with Brother printers also.

Got a Canon all in one ink jet at Walmart.com for under $30. But it is not wireless.

Brecklundin · 04-07-2019, 12:38 AM

my print needs are quite simple. So, i buy just the $45ish all-in-one printers then when iy stops feeding paper i buy another next time i want to print.

The big bad part of inject is you need to print a page to prevent the heads and/or cartridges from clogging up.

I really should find a $200 color laser. Okidata make a nice color laser.

oh, i buy ink from a really nice lady at https://www.peachtreeink.com

Very good prices and inks are maybe better than the branded cartridges and 1/3 the price.

My wireless didn't work either. I figured "operator malfunction" and bought the cord. Added 1/3 to the cost.

X2 on the HP 3755. I just purchased one to carry in the MH. It prints, scans/copies and is small. I use it wirelessly with my phone as the wireless router. I just printed some nice glossy photos of our newest grand daughter and it did a very nice job. It's still listed at $49.99 on the HP web site: https://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-de...-j9v90a-b1h--1

I decided to 'fess up to USAA and told them I was full timing in a TT. They would have been okay with it but I decided to get a Progressive full timers policy. Turns out when Progressive sells you a car policy they accept electronic signature. Not so with a TT policy. I looked at a lot of recommended printers in this post and realize I need scan capabilities- most recently, for example, scanning my signature on the policy for Progressive. I have also scanned my drivers license for library card membership.

I could live without color printing but I do not think I could live without scan capabilities.

This is a great post with great replies, which is why i love IRV2.

I have this app on my iPad....works great. I don’t have to print, sign, scan anymore ! You can just “sign” the form and email it back....looks like you signed it with a ball point pen [emoji2]
