Do a lot of printing? I have a question
I use an Epson WF2750 in the truck and I?m not happy with it. The auto feed jams regularly and some pages scan crooked. It is an ink guzzler, I buy the XL cartridges about once every 30 days. It needs constant print head cleaning, this burns a lot of paper.
I generally print 2-5 pages a day, sometimes I will print a new packet that is 15-20 pages but not that often since I have a pretty good broker list now. Scanning is sometimes daily, those packets need to be scanned back and BOLs and invoices are scanned at the end of each load. I use it a lot but not as much as an office would use one. Also I?m finding a white residue inside the printer and on the left side of the case, the same side the scanner head is on, could this be from cheap Walmart printer paper or is the scanner hard on it?
I need a WIFI printer and scanner that can be used with my iPhone and laptop.
It needs to fit in the cubbyhole where the Epson is now.
Must have auto document feed.
Must also have a flatbed scanner for making copies of reciepts
Needs to be durable, this truck rides rough and at times the temp variance is huge if parked for a couple days
Any suggestions? Including a pic of the current setup so you can see the size requirement.

I have the same problems and more with my Epson XP-430. Epson made great printers back in the dot-matrix days (Made in USA), but it looks like they still haven't figured out the ink-jet thing. 0 -
I've had the best luck with Epson and it pretty much goes down hill from there. Get the off brand ink from Amazon or some place and you can save some dough that way. 0 -
We bought an HP laser printer for the house.
The thing has been rock solid, and while a bit more expensive than the ink-jet machines, it seems the overall cost of toner vs. ink is favorable.0 -
Here's where I go for printer and camera stuff. Link is to laser printers for your information.

Could you rig a bungee cord support for it to reduce the beating it takes?0 -
You need a laser printer, NOT inkjet. Inkjets are stupid expensive, and garbage, as a rule. I don't do "all in ones" but Brother laser printers are great.

That's insane. Just buy the off brand stuff. Works just as well.0 -

Were getting ready to go to Costco in a few minutes our old HP finally died, they have the HP 7858 on sale for $79 dollars normally $169, it does everything plus it will print from your phone. Costco can also refill the cartridges cheaper than buying new ones. I?m going to order the refill kits it looks pretty easy to do??

My brother buys a new printer every time he runs out of ink![:D]
Says that it is almost cheaper than buying cartridges![:0]0 -
I have an HP all in one we use like crazy with no problems. I've signed up for the HP instant ink thing where I pay $19 per month for ink. My printer sends a report of the number of pages we print and we get cartridges in the mail automatically when it is low. 0 -
I'm done with ink jet. Next will be a laser printer. 0 -

I've had some problems with the off brands & refilled ones. My printer will often reject them.0
