I need to replace my printer and wondered if I need to get an "all in one" machine?

I gave my expensive scanner away years ago. Mostly it was just gathering dust. Digital cameras are great even smartphone cameras will produce good results.

We have a HP all in one, the second in about twelve years. We don't need the fax, but the scanner has gotten a lot of use. Would not be without one.

Ditto on the WiFi!
I have one that is wifi or network and I use the network because I can print from any computer including the ones in the shop that wifi doesn't reach
Depends on what you'll do with it- Me, I have a cheap Canon printer the wife gave me for xmas a few years ago, and on top is a basic flatbed scanner. I'd be lost without the thing. Reason being, whatever I scan with it with Corel 'acquire image' comes into Corel in actual size. I get many requests for 'exactly like this' engraving, such as watchbacks for restorations- my watch guys give me an old beat up watchback, I scan it, they take it back and sand off what's left of the original wording and refinish it - meanwhile, I find text and such that matches, and hand digitize if needed, then superimpose mine right on top of the scanned version. When done I have a to-scale, nearly verbatim copy of the original...
