The time has come for me to be honest about my story and its effect on my life

We looked real closely at replacing our old laser printer with a new Wi-Fi printer

 

Our old printer.
My HP 1012 printer purchased in 2007 at an old CompUSA store.

 

I remember pretty clearly going into our CompUSA store in Lansing and buying our inexpensive laser printer.  I think we paid less than a hundred bucks.  It has worked really well since then.  We can print from our laptops using wi-fi.  Works like a charm. However, there are two issues.

First, the toner cartridges are a little more than $61 with a new up-to-date printer costing around $90.  For us, the cartridge should last more than a year.  A downside, our old printer doesn't allow us to print from our phones or our iPads.

We went to Sam's Club and looked at their printer choices and tried to carefully weigh the issue of keeping the old versus the new.  It's always tempting to get a new "device" even if it is a printer.

Finally, we opted to keep the old printer and revisit the choices when the present cartridge runs out of toner.

Do any of you have wi-fi printers where you can print from an iPad or iPhone?
