Shinobi said:I bought the same printer (HP6510) as iPads are our only tech at the mo, since I dropped my MacBook Pro! And less cables is definitely a good reason ;-) I've not tried remote printing yet as I don't leave my printer on most of the time ( and I can't remember the email address!)
But I do love not being tied to printing by the printer. BTW, there's are some brilliant apps for home financing worksheets, as well as colouring in apps for the kids! However, cartridges an be pricey! Shop around.

If I want to do multiple copies, I put in single sheets manually, If I put several sheets in the tray, the damn thing will insist on taking two pages and printing over a sheet and a half...Very annoying.
I do like the idea of no wires though......much tidier on my desk..
NotTheStig said:I have a wireless printer but it's pretty rubbish. It says wireless but when I tried it without the wire going from the AC mains input to the plug socket on the wall it didn't work!
Mine is fairly basic. Have to set it up with the router and I took a look at the instructions and thought I would just plug the USB cable in. I imagine printing from my smartphone might be handy once or twice but can't really be bothered. Maybe on my week off work at the end of the month, when the rain is hammering down, I'll give it a try just for the hell of it. Maybe not.

99% of the time at home I'm using an Android device, so the idea appeals. Just couldn't tell from the packaging, if I NEED a windows box (or Mac) at some point - though I guess I have xp in a virtual box if absolutely necessary.
May get one next week. For my very occasional use, consumables prices aren't a factor, so a thirty quid box is ideal.
