Re: Printer brand recommendations
Hi guys,
Thank you all for your valuable information and help!
I just bought a black-only EPSON M105 inkjet printer, with WIFI.
It printed perfectly!
No cables needed, no CDs, nothing. Just energy, and the WPS botton to
connect to my router, find out the IP address, and added as
socket://192.10.10.122:9100
Happy user now! :)
Thanks again,
Beco
