HI, I have an Epson SX510W wireless printer. I have just got this, and am
very impressed. It has 4 ink cartridges and you only replace the one that
has run out, which cuts down the cost of these. It is printing and scanning
wirelessly very well. one disadvantage of it is that the paper feed and
printing are very loud as opposed to the scanning which is a lot softer than
my last one.
I am only the other side of the room from this printer, but it also makes it
possible to use it with the laptop where I may be further away. I still
like the wireless option, as it means that I do not have so many wires about
the place.
Audrey

The biggest problem I have found with wireless printers is that every single
one sold by pc world has a touch-screen control panel on it. Everything
from simple copy facility to the setup iof the thing has to be done on this
and is hence completely unuseable for a totally blind user.

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
