hello we currently have a f2180 and its rubbish! keeps jamming, taking five pages at a time, and other problems, so i am looking to upgrade, i will keep the F2180 for scanning, so i am just looking for a printer. it will only be used for word documents and some colour documents (nothing fancy in colour)

i have around £100 to spend, looking for a good quality printer

edit: turns out my mother would also like built in wifi so my sister can print form her lapppy

this should be a vast improvement in quality and no more wet pages

Depends if you want laser or inkjet.

Laser is fast for plain text documents but does not do colour. ( not in your budget anyway)

Inkjet is slow for text and better for colour.

HP laserjet p2 is what i personally use at home was around £97 on amazon when i brought it around 9months back

Epson stylis sx series is about the best inkjet printer for under £100.

Rollo no problem I know that issue all to well.

Wifi - - - - - *#&@ my nemesis! Kill all Wifi!
well if you have a good router thats not a problem jut band on some tomato or other pro/custom firmware and set up the print server function.

Otherwise you are stuck with ink pissers *(German expression for ink-jets) and another whole in your wallet.
