We bought a Canon printer/scanner/copier about six months ago. Generally happy with it and chose it mainly because Canon cartridges are only £5-£6 as opposed to the double figures for Lexmark and other makes. Sue |

Any percent will always do !! Seriously though, I'm going to buy one in the next couple of days so I'll let you know what the HP one is like. Rick. |

Barry, If you go to www.ebuyer(.)co(.)uk - remove the brackets - you will find reviews on all of the printers and some of the cheapest prices around. Reputable company from what I understand (can I have my cut please ebuyer?) Rick. |

Hi Barry I have had an all-in-one for a few months and I'm delighted with it. Lexmark 74/75. It certainly takes up less space. The only problem as far as I can see, like any equipment that incorporates more than one appliance, if one part of it does go wrong, then the whole thing has to go for repair, so denying you the use of the other parts.

Hi Barry, Just going through the same thoughts myself. The pros - smaller footprint on your desk, cheaper than separates because you only need one "engine". only one driver to crash your PC (!!), don't need PC switched on to make copies. The cons - single point of failure cos if it blows up you can't print, scan or copy. I'm going to get one - HP is favourite at the moment. The 1110 (?) is about £65 - sounds a bargain, but I think there's a newer model out. Hope this helps, Rick. |

Has anyone got any thoughts on buying,or not,of an all in one printer/scanner/copier,as opposed to using seperates. |
