I've lost patience with my Kodak printer continually breaking down and would be grateful for advice for a new printer/scanner. Unfortunately an hour on the net has left my head spinning.


All I need is a printer for documents (PowerPoint etc) and to scan and save documents. it doesn't need to be photographic quality. Presumably I need inkjet rather than laser. I would like wireless facility and also to be able to print from iPad and iPhone. Perhaps also to put a USB key in as well and print off/save file. I don't really want to spend more than ?150.


Can someone please point me in the right direction - Dell, HP, Epson, Brother, Canon?

To print from ipad /iphone you can use AirPrint



To use AirPrint, you need one of the following devices running iOS 4.2 or later:

iPad

iPhone (3GS or later)

iPod touch (3rd generation or later


You will also need an AirPrint-enabled printer. See this article for a list of printers.


Airprint set up

Thanks Dulwichfox.


I've been looking at some of the HP models that have Wireless ePrint and AirPrint. However it's not clear whether they are also Google Cloud Print ready (which would be useful for gmail and cloud computing). It's also not clear whether they come with inks or whether they have to be purchased separately.

HP printers now come with "setup " cartridges -IE with only a little ink. Its how they make their money - sell cheap printers and expensive cartrdges. But you can get very cheap clone cartridges for most Printers. I suppose cars dont always come with a full tank of petrol so there is a precedent.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
