I’m looking to pick up a used all-in-one printer/copier unit.
- Ideally, I want something that handles both A3 and A4—having A3 capability would be a huge plus, though not a total dealbreaker,
- Color is preferred, but it's not a hard requirement (though if I can get more bang for my buck, why not...),
- It needs wireless printing capabilities via Wi-Fi—we’re spread out across three floors here with one iMac and three Windows 10 laptops, and running cables through the house is a non-starter since we're renting and don't want to be drilling holes in anyone else's walls. So, Wi-Fi is the way to go—it could just run off our DirecTV home network with its flat-rate internet, Wi-Fi, and 10 Mbps speeds.
The main goal is to have a photocopier for several students living here and a wireless printer for print jobs. I can't afford a new machine—they're overpriced and I'm pretty tight with my cash right now—so my budget is around $160. I see plenty of used all-in-ones listed on eBay and Craigslist, but since I've never owned, bought, or maintained one before, I need some advice on what to look for, which brands or systems you'd recommend... and please spare me the "save up a few thousand more and buy something quality" talk—that's simply not an option. Just give me practical advice for this specific price range, since there are dozens of listings out there and I really need to grab one of them to get by... Thanks!
