Anyone got any decent recommendations for a good wireless printer. It must work siraight out of the box with a 64 bit machine, I do not fancy messing with drivers that never work.
Thanks guys.

We've got one in the office for things like envelopes, labels, etc that don't like the laser printer, and also for scanning. Works great wirelessly & is simple to set up. Also HP have improved their drivers so you don't need five-hours to install them.

Thanks but I have one and am seriously un-impressed it comes and goes with the connection and the ink costs a fortune. It will not connect at the moment and am seriously ticked off with it, it's getting binned in the morning, any other suggestions lads?

Just to be different, I'm going to say Canon.
I've got to know a man who runs a franchise of Cartridge World and this is his make of choice.
He has the remnants of 4 or 5 HP printers from me (for spares) which i.m.o. are simply terrible long term. He recommends PIXMA.
Best to buy one that categorically states for 64-bit windows.

Take a look at this canon wifi Printer scanner copier
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/236267
£118 plus it also has individual colour tanks, so you only replace what you actually need.
Running costs are therefore lower
And yes it will definately work with Vista or Windows 7 64 bit

That's a cracking deal Fragger, considering it's also got built-in duplex. Will have to remember that one for customers.

I purchased an Epson SX425W wireless "all in one" from PC World and am really happy with it.
On sale now for £49.00 which is a bit cheaper than I paid!

Was a doddle to set up and works seamlessly from both my desktop and the wifes laptop.

Does the printer really need to be wireless?
I cable my Canon IP4200 to a wireless router which in turn is accessible by any of the PCs in the house over the wireless network.
If the printer really has to be wireless because you cant move it close enough to the router then perhaps think about a wireless print server. That way you can buy any printer USB or Ethernet and make it wireless. Something like the NETGEAR WGPS606. Buy secondhand if you can because doing this will work out a bit more expensive.
Or buy a all in one but I dont have any recommendations on that I'm afraid.
