I have an HP Envy 4512. I use it wirelessly. I even downloaded the app and can print from my mobile phone. Also, I do a lot of reveal audits and have to print out tons of paperwork. I was being eaten alive with the ink cost and running out of ink on the last couple of pages and had to rush to go buy more. My next door neighbor told me about the HP Ink program. I now can print up to 300 pages, color or black, for only around $11 a month. My printer tells HP when I am running low on color and black ink and they automatically mail me more. I never have run out of ink since I started with the HP program. Now, that I don't have to pay the high cost of ink and printing all these audit papers, I can actually make a little money on the job. If I don't print 300 pages, it rolls over to the next month's allotment. They have different prices for different print needs. It has been a lifesaver.

Why do you need a printer?
I got rid of my printer in 2016 when the power supply went bad. The only shop that required me to print something was one for Informa. I went to Staples for that.
All other shops are done digitally, including audits.

One of the main reasons for getting a printer is without one I'm having a tough time staying organized with the mystery shopping. It was fine when I was shopping the same 3 to 5 shops each weekend. Now that I'm venturing out and trying new shops it takes such a long time to write down all the important guidelines etc. On the technical side, I'm pretty comfortable with technology but as pointed out already technogy can fail sometimes. Thankfully that hasn't happened to me yet, but it is always good to have a back up plan..The suggestions are appreciated...

FedEx Office. Prints are only a few pennies a page in BW and just a little more for color. No printer to buy, no ink to buy. No worries. And it has been years since I needed a print for a shop. PDF to the cloud I can access on my phone works great for me.

A printer at home saves me a trip to the FedEx Office. Having a printer at home offsets the gas, time and inconvenience of driving over to a FedEx Office.

Brother makes great products. I am a real estate agent and I use mine daily. Buy your toner cartidriges on e-bay for 10% of what Staples & Office Max charge. Same quality. The mark up on ink and toner are why the manufacturers sell their printers at a loss. They make it up on the ink & toner cartridges + 100%.
