Recommendation Request for a 4-in-1 printer

[mhumm2]

Hello,

My old HP inkjet finally died. I need a fully Linux (Kubuntu) compatible printer with the following specs:

- 4-in-one (Print, Copy, Scan, Fax). Yes I still use fax for my business.

- Wifi Enabled

- Direct printing on printable disks (CDs, DVDs, etc.)

- $150 price range

I’ve been spending a lot of time searching the OpenPrint database, but a lot of newer printers are not listed at all or they’re listed, but not verified by the administrators.

I’m hoping direct member experience will shorten my inefficient search efforts so far. Please advise.

Have you used this resource?

Not sure about direct printing to optical media, but I bought a Brother Multi-function MFC-J880DW back in August and absolutely love it.

For this you will need an inkjet since you can't put a cd thru a fuser..

for the rest you can use a laser unit i would suggest getting a laser printer it will cost a bit more but the toner will last a lot longer then ink carts and your print cost per page will be much lower as a result.

There aren't a lot of choices below $150 with all that functionality combined. This one lists at $199 but is current on sale at $129:

Thank you for all the suggestions. I finally settled on an Epson WF-3620. The selection tool recommended by Snow Hog was valuable -- thank you. The install was simple and I have full functionality for printing, copying/scanning, and faxing. I was also able to connect all of our smart phones to the printer via Wifi. Thanks again.
