    What's your definition of good? What exactly are you looking for in a printer/scanner/copier, and what sort of thing will you be using it for?

    Just occasional printing, scanning, and coping. Not heavy duty or anything.

    It's not the one I use, but it's one that looked good on paper. <Pun not intended>

    To be honest, any of the printers in that price range are going to crap out in a couple years. Most will be relatively flimsy, and quite loud as well.

    Don't expect some super long lasting miracle printer. I went through a ton of them trying to find one, and at that price it just doesn't exist.

    Expect to have to replace it every year or two. Also, if your buying ink retail, expect to pay almost as much on ink as the printer itself.

    Yeah, my last one sucked. I just need something simple though, as I don't print often.

    Look in the trash, or, if you have a target nearby, go there, and you can get a lexmark 3-in-1 for $40 to $60.

    I have a Lexmark X1185 3-1 and it works just fine for what I use it for. Minimum printing. The only thing that stinks is the price of the ink. Black can cost $25 for 1 cart while color runs up to $40. If you can ever get a refill kit to work right then its worth it but I've had only 1 kit work and now I can't find anymore from that brand.
