I’m looking to purchase a cheap laser printer. It needs to have scanning technology. Ideally it would have wireless connectivity. It could have 4 color printing but if it’s B&W that’s just fine too. I’d like to buy it today so if it’s something I can pick up at Best Buy or MicroCenter, awesome. Let’s say my price range is up to $200 but I’ll consider beyond that too. Anyone know of anything? Thanks! ---

Wow. Brother looks the way to go. It’s not in stores, but I’ve worked out what I need for today and I’ll order one of them and have it here by Friday. Thanks for your help guys! ---

Those Brothers are solid little guys. I’ve got the print-only version of the ones linked above, and have no complaints for it as a home printer. My only gripe is lack of AirPrint support. ---

I bought it eight years ago, use it occasionally and it’s doing fine.
