Wireless Printers
 

Hi

I am currently looking around for a new laptop and printer (the current printer will be given to my brother at uni)

Then there will be 1 laptop user and 2 desktop PCs in the house, so once ive got my ADSL wireless router installed in the next few months, im thinking of getting a wireless printer (in an attempt to make it 'futureproof' for when the desktops are eventually replaced by laptops)

PC World - Wireless Printers

Currys - Wireless Printers

Comet - Wireless Printers

What are peoples thoughts/reviews/recommendations on wireless printers ? :confused:


Thanks

Anyone?

Is this technology still relatively new on the market ?

Re: Wireless Printers
 

I don't think it is new.

I don't know, but I connected my HP 1320 to a print server via the USB port and connect my 3 lappys to it.

Try and get one with on-printer set up for the Wireless. I got a HP C4380 which is Wireless G, but you need to connect to it via USB to set up the WiFi which is a bit of a pain

However apart from that the printer itself its very good

This is the new version

Re: Wireless Printers
 

Thanks for the responses so far.

Is there a big difference in print speed/quality when printing wirelessly and when connected directly to a desktop/laptop ?

Re: Wireless Printers
 

Not that I've noticed.

There shouldn't be, you're only transmitting a small amount of data.

Unless you're printing off huge documents/PDF's with pictures, etc, then you shouldn't notice any difference.

P.s, You shouldn't bother comparing PC World printers with Currys printers...they are the same company. They may have a few different, but the majority of the stock is the same.
