    Hi! :)

    Thank you for reading.

    I need a printer. I´ll pay $10 to the person who can recommend the best printer/solution to me.


    What I need:
    I have a printer at 1 place, place x. But I want my secretary to be able to reach and use the printer from her location, which is in a totally different city.

    She will use to print documents and these address sticker sheets. So the printer would need 2 trays.

    In place x there is wireless internet. My solution would be to buy a small laptop and connect that too internet and the printer 24/7. Then the secretary would access the minilaptop through remote access and print from that one. (Good or bad idea?)

    Then a person in place x can just pick up the printed documents all ready and done.

    Anyways, so I need:
    Not a to big printer, laser, fast, 2 (or 3) trays.

    Budget? Hopefully somewhere around $100 - 1500. The printer is supposed to be shipped too Sweden. So it would be great if amazon.co.uk has the product.


    Thanks!

    Brother MFC-8890DW Monochrome Laser Multifunction Printer

    (It is a Laser Printer: The quality of the print is better with laser & I have never had a laser ink cartridge dry up on me, because the ink is already a dry toner)

    Probably the only printer that will satisfy your printer needs
    Details:

    - There is actually 3 trays, 2 dedicated for printing and one for storage & recollection, which is more than enough

    - Since you considered WiFi, you won't have to setup a complex network to access the Printer. The printer has wireless network-ready and is WiFi certified which makes connecting + printing easier

    - It also has PC-Fax and Phone-Fax, whether your secretary only has a PC or phone, she/he could send it both ways

    - It is also Vista compatible and Windows 7 compatible, so you don't have to use a different OS

    - Its compact & energy efficient, I wouldn't recommend anything else

    - Not to mention it has a copier & scanner implemented, almost like a all-in-one feature pack

    Saatchi, write a link to the printer on amazon.co.uk (seems to be alot of printers with a similar name) and pm me your paypal.

    Cant say if the one you recommended were the best but at least you tried to explain. Thanks.

    I agree with the recommendation. Getting a medium class HP printer or higher is a good solid buy.

    hi,
    i would recommend you to buy the printer that i bought last month from kelkoo as i have already tested its performance and its best suitable for our printing requirements. I bought HP LaserJet Pro CP1525 and its performance is praise worthy. You can also buy it for a good printing experience.
