I've thought about this too, Christopher, but have decided against.
It may sound a bit silly, but I like to be near the printer when it's
printing, so that I can hear that all is well, and then I can physically
pick up the document. I shouldn't want to print more than one doc at a time
wirelessly, as I'd want to be sure that I separated out the two docs. My
wife says I need a collator!
The only other thing I'd say is how much I like having a mono laser printer,
as I sometimes like to be able to feel where the print has come on the page
- which I can't do with inkjets.

Subject: [access-uk] Wireless Printers
Hello,
I am seriously considering buying a wireless printer. Trawling through some
favourite websites and talking to sighted colleagues produces a variety of
printers and opinions, so any thoughts and recommendations to help me
through the minefield would me most welcome!
My printing needs are straightforward, letters, short documents, etc. I
certainly don't intend going in for mass production! I notice that all seem
to be combined with a scanner. This is fine with me. The software would
have to be accessible to a screen reader.
So far as the price is concerned, the cheapest I have come across on the
internet is a Del printer from Argos for around £50, followed by an HP
Photosmart for just under £60 from John Lewis. Is paying a maximum of around
£100 realistic for a reasonably decent machine?
My setup here is a Netgear router, connected by USB cable to a desktop PC
running Windows XP; connected wirelessly to the router is my laptop, running
Windows Vista Home Premium, soon to be upgraded to Windows 7.
Looking forward with thanks to your replies.
Cheers,
Christopher
