Hello Group,

I am in the market for a smaller AIO
unit I can use while on the road
and take from car to room etc..
I have looked at HP, Canon, Epson, etc but can't discern between so many
models.

Looking for something that will scan docs/photos to .pdf files, MS Word,
& print good looking black text based reports
w/ just occasional color, maybe a photo once in awhile.

Would prefer something that can take an extended black cartridge
w/ low cost per page and can do envelopes w/ no paper path hangups.

Wouldn't mind last yrs's model if priced right.

I have a Deskjet 952c that still works great , actually better than great
but it can't scan.

Thanks

For reference purposes the DJ 952c is
17.34" (W) x 14.6" (D) x 7.72" @ 15lbs

It's one of those classic units that uses the #45 cartridges. Text
was very good. I'll list a couple of canon models, but the DJ 952
would likely out perform the canon in terms of text in terms of
quality. In terms of cost, the last time I checked the cartridge was
rated at 833p @ 5% yield. It's currently listed at 930pages. Draft
mode was good enough for most purposes, which really extended the
cartridge life, but normal mode is about 3.2c-3.7c/page.

Canon, pgi-5, floats at about 3c-3.2c.

Bother as I recall has an AIO with a reasonable cost per page, that's
reasonable in price from the get go, and has a smaller footprint, but
for the life of me I can't remember the model number.
