<p>In divvying up supplies to bring with her freshman roommate, my daughter just asked me to find her a printer. I was thinking a small footprint laser, but she says she wants an all-in-one. So, any suggestions for a small-footprint all-in-one--preferably wireless, which would be a plus in a small dorm room--that is cheap on consummables, is easy to set up and works with both macs and pcs (and possibly makes a good cup of coffee)?</p>
<p>I gave my son my Brother BW laser for school, and he never used it. It was replaced at home with an HP 86000, which I love, but it's gynormous.</p>
<p>Her school allots $30 a year per student for printing and charges $.06 per BW sheet and $.50 per color sheet. You can print remotely from your dorm room or anywhere on campus. </p>
<p>I may dissuade her from starting out with one but get it if she finds she needs it, or it's a major convenience. Even in high school, she was submitting most work electronically.</p>
