It was google. Adding Rescroller solved it.

Our old fax machine died today. (To tell you how old it was, it was a thermal printer.) Our old color printer died about a year ago. Since I have some credit left on a gift cart at Amazon I'm thinking a combined Fax/color printer. (If it scans and copies great, but important to me). Wireless is a plus but my router does have a USB port it says is specifically for printers. I am trying to keep it in the $100 area. I neither receive faxes nor print in color all that often so cost per page is not a big concern. Print quality and speed are not priorities either as long as it is above awful. What I would like is something that will last as close to forever as possible. Years ago those specs would have mean't HP and then decide on model, but today, maybe there is something that will meet my needs in a Canon, Epson, or Brother or whatever. Any advice welcome.

So basically I want cheap and sturdy with wireless a plus but not absolutely needed. I don't care if they screw me on the cartridge, cause I don't expect to replace the cartridge that often. Speed and print quality are not prioties either, cause the main this will be used for is sending faxes, but I will take advantage of the color printing ability occasionally.

Typo,

so, I have a combined printer/fax, but the fax part of it died on me a few yrs back. What I have been doing since is scanning, then faxing. So, can you give me an idea of how often you fax, and how often you receive faxes?

I ask because I have been using maxemail.com for my faxing needs and for something like $20 a year, I have a phone number which is used rarely for faxes, and I can send through email when I need to. My needs are generally light and/or in bursts so this has absolutely suited my needs. You might benefit from an arrangement like this instead of having to buy a fax machine.

A good scanner might be better and meet more of your needs.

I considered it but am sick of not having a color printer. Most printer scanners can also fax. I there is a really good printer scanner that does not fax then yeah, that along with Maxmail might work. I will certainly consider it, but for that to be worthwhile there would either need to be a significant price savings or significant quality advantage over a multifuction machine that included a fax. What I don't want is to have to replace the machine in two years.

I don't Fax often, but i have to send a Fax today (which is how I discovered the death of my Fax machine. It was one sheet to a local number and cost me $1.75. Would not take a whole lot of pages at that rate to pay for a $100 machine, especially if it also did color printing. I would say I fax about 50 sheets per year, so Maxmail or comparable would probably meet my needs.

I'm kind of thinking this. [link]

At 90 bucks for a step in quality above the cheapest. Not a bad rate just for a color printer. Stand alone acanners (which I would need if I used email faxing) are about $50 So for 40 bucks more than a stand alone scanner I get an OK color printer as well. And it is designed for small office so might last.

I bought this Canon PIXMA printer last year and absolutely love it. It doesn't fax, because I didn't need that. But other printers in the same line, like this one, do have that functionality.

Two unrelated question. Windows 7. I switched to Chrome some years ago, because it crashed less and responded more quickly than Firefox. However, the interface grows less and less bearable to me, and add-ons to fix this get constantly broken by Chrome updates. How is Firefox on Win7 these days in terms of sluggishness and stability?

OK, when I switched to my Win7 computer, my DTP would not migrate. So any free DTP out there that can do simple basic Desktop Publishing in terms of stuff like doing even justification better than MS word. Relatedly: Even justification in Word always results in funky obtrusive insertion of white space.But when I look at printed books, the extra white space is inconspicuous. The even justification does what it is supposed to: makes text easier to read and looks a bit tidier and more professional. Is this kerning? Or what is the print professional term for the difference between even justification done by word processors and even justification done properly?

If you need to fax, can't you use something like efax?

I have to fax forms that are only available on paper, so to use efax would still need a scanner.

Firefox works well in Win7, when I had it at work.
