[quote=briansd1]For faxing you can use a fax to email service such as unityfax.

It costs money to use this service, and for folks that don’t receive a lot of fax, this is not cost effective

How about using a laser printer for general printing in black and white?
My networked HP laser printer has been working perfectly for more than 10 years. And I only rarely change the cartridge.

Cartridges are pretty pricey

Need to print photos? Just upload to Costco/Snapfish for printing.[/quote]
Costco quality stinks imho…For me, it’s fine for stuff I don’t care about like holiday cards, or for pictures I give away…But for slightly more important stuff, it’s hard to get consistency at Costco, mostly probably because they don’t keep those machines well calibrated all the time. Anything I did above 5×7 was just completely disappointing, in that the colors were well off (very orange or pale)…Snapfish isn’t that much better imho.
For much better results (printed on much better paper with much better machines), go to Nelson’s in downtown off of India Street or the one in La Jolla….They don’t use the crap paper/machines, and the results are very consistent. (4×6 is 30 cents versus 13 at costco, and worth every penny)
