    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

    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.

    ^I bought one of them recently from Dabs for £100 and I don't regret it

    Here it is - linky

    And ignore the 1* review - it's good for the money (and I did a lot of research!)
