Decent Printer/Fax for small business

[stang]

I am looking for a printer/fax to print some invoices and such for a small business. B&W would probally work. Looking for something that doesnt cost a whole bunch, and doesnt eat through ink (Say no to Lexmark.. lol)

Anyone use this? HP 1319

Thanks

Edit: Just thinking that it doesnt HAVE to be a printer/fax. I could go with just a straight up printer with a seperate fax.

I have an HP all in one printer fax scanner for my business and it's pretty good.

Can't remember the specific name, but it was only $200 (on sale from $450)

Personally, I don't use the fax option much at all for the time being, but it is a good option to have.

HP can bite my shiny metal a**.

Their drivers are so terrible, it's an artform. Oh and if you happen to have a printer for more than a few years and a new version of Windows comes out, good luck. Sorry, no driver for you. Or maybe a driver, but forget about scanning or half the other things your printer does.

Great hardware, but I refuse to buy another HP because of their drivers.

It's like Creative and HP share the same development team.

Go to Best Buy's Online Outlet Section, I got my Brother DCP-7030 for $99 when the regular is $250. Amazing machine for the price.

Edit: Actually, I just realized it isn't a fax. I never use a fax so I guess I never noticed till now. Still check out the Outlet section

THanks People!

I have actually changed my mind a little.

I want a Laser B&W stand alone for printing reciepts. Smaller and cheaper the better.

I have a wireless HP for my business and its great.

Color print / scan / copy. No fax but I have a utility on my PC for that.

Cost about 90 bux at FS.

So what would you recommend?

Honestly I have no idea right now. I've been looking for a replacement for my multifunction for a while now. I have to boot into Windows XP in a virtual machine to scan.

I kinda wanted to go with a colour laser multifunction because in a few years my kid will be of report-writing age, but I haven't found one yet that I like, at least not for a price I'm willing to pay. Plus I don't want to have to rearrange my office just to fit a monster colour printer.

Maybe Xerox..

The problem is HP just makes great hardware, the latest OfficeJets if I decide to go back to an inkjet printer just look too appealing. We do home business so good scanning and faxing capability is important, I need to be able to scan 20 pages without having to fight with poor paper handling or jamming. And duplexing as well, that really narrows the competition.
