Printer that can scan double-sided

zagubov

Can anyone suggest a reliable colour laserjet that prints and scans double-sided and is mac-compatible.

No, all these all in ones are horrible cheap stuff. Get seperates. And pay more for a printer upfront to reduce ink costs. And expect to pay big whack for a decent scanner.


YMMV.

That's a really useful link, thanks.

Does anybody know which manufacturers machines can accept compatible toners? I gather some brands won't use them.

They all do. Some just pee and moan more about it than others.

Those are inkjets, change the URL to laser

Thank you, I've done that and identified some inexpensive ones by Lexmark, Canon etc.

I've had several printers in the past but they were cheap all-in-ones with expensive cartridges as I only had to print occasionally. Now I'd like to print more copies and also scan quite a library of materials, so I'm prepared to pay more than for my earlier machines.

I'm keen to know if anyone has experience of suitable machines.

I've ended up with a Brother machine that doesn't scan double-sided, doesn't interact with macs, doesn't really even print with any of the older computers we've got at home.

If the OP wants a standalone fast document scanner doing both sides of the page at the same time then look at the Fujitsu IX500 (or whatever it has been now superseded by)
I have one.
