Printer recommendation

[Cornerstone Technologies]

Can anyone recommend two or three choices for a printer that works well with iOS? A client of mine would like one for their home, but I really would like the feedback from my peers as to what has or hasnt worked for them in similar cases.

Mono, colour, laser, inkjet, budget?

i would recommend going for HP though, had better experience with them with warranty support compared to brother

For this client, inkjet will probably work. Also, I am interested in what others have sold. I get PCmag and can look at them, but Im interested in first hand knowledge

Prefer HP and Canon myself....just look for "AirPrint" compatible models from either.
Got an HP Office Jet Pro 8500 or 8600 I think...at home, wifes office.

We us either the Lantonix print server or something like the printopia software .
That way the client can use any printer.

I've found the HP ePrint/AirPrint models to be the easiest to setup.

Another option to use for non-AirPrint compatible printers is an app called handyprint. Like others it needs to be running on a machine which acts as a server. The downside is it's OS X only. But works perfectly. Great to be able to print to my HP LJ 4250dn so I do not have to use any colored ink.

I am a big fan of the new HP 8610, 8620 and 8630 Multifunction Inkjets.

Unfortunately you can't make any money on the printers as staples has been offering up to 50% off retail on these over the past month. Also the Hp Instant Ink program www.hpinstantink.com managed print services program is unbeatable for cost per page.

Starting at $2.99 per month for 50 pages per month or $4.99 for 100 or $9.99 for 300. Hp sends you ink automatically for free with this subscription service.

They also do have a higher end program for some of the x576 series mfc's as well that start at $19.99 for 400 prints and up to their $59.99 for 2000 prints.

HP OfficeJet 8600 is a good buy for an inkjet for a Mac device. Buy the XL cartridges though, it seems like printing 1 page with the regular ones empties the darn things, but the with the XLs, I keep forgetting when the last time I bought ink was.

HP Office Jet Pro 8500

Looked at Amazon reviews on this printer. Out of a total of 469 reviews, 239 were one star???????

The 8600 is their old models and the 8610, 8620 and 8630 are the newer much better quality printers.
