WIRELESS All-In-One Printer under £70

Sui_Generis

Anyone know if the offer is still on as I have a friend who wants one too? The voucher runs to 25 June.

I just called our local Staples hoping to reserve one. They have them in stock GREAT! NO! The SA said they were £139.99 now and that the offer was over!

If anyone has been told/knows different please let me know!

TIA

As an addition..

The printer CAN be switched off at night, contrary to the manual. It will keep it's WLAN settings, and it does keep it's time.

Switched on: 7W/h
Switched off (with on/off switch on panel): 2W/h

Isn't here a fire risk leaving such things on permanently?
Is 2W/h the same consumption as 1/20th of the consumption of a 40W bulb?

Probably. Quite surprised Brother are so adamant that it should be left powered. I mean like, who leaves their stuff switched on 24x7.. All this environmental clap-trap, EU this, dispose of through proper channels, yet in the meantime they're telling users to keep it plugged in and powered on pain of losing all your settings.

Just to say I bought this printer and for £70 I think it's fantastic value.

Had a few problems with setting up the wireless (probably me) but with a bit of help from TS Aly that was soon overcome.

Sorry for those who missed out.

Picked one up today in Bedford, SEL said 69.99 but scanned at 139.99. Manager gave it to me at lower price no problem, though he may have removed SEL.
