Printer for college student

I have the Canon Pixma MP610, its great, it has a bottom paper feed tray so the top tray doesnt have to be open, it prints great pictures and it looks nice. You could possibly get something cheaper depending on her needs though.

Hi RCM..

When I bought my MacBook I got my printer free, tho usually I believe they run around $100.00. Its an HP Photosmart C4280 All In One. I was skeptical because even tho the price was right, I work my printer HARD. It prints, scans and copys. It is compact (good for small spaces) yet doesn't sacrafice on size or quality. Color and Black and White, of course. Paper tray is on the bottom and it slides in and out so as not to get in the way. Copier and Scanner are on top. It's great. Oh! And loading the ink cartridges is reeeal easy. And since school is just starting, maybe they have another deal going! Hope this helps.

You may also want to consider one of the inexpensive laser printers, either black and white or color depending on your needs. Laser printers may cost a bit more initially but usually pay for themselves over time through the reduced cost per page.

I got a Cannon MX300 free when I got my new MacBook. This thing is bullet proof and does a great job. It is rather large as printers go however, properly set up it does copy, scan, and fax. I've had HPs forever and the last few were just a little weak for printing school documents. I think the Cannon is less than 100 bucks.
