That depends on your printing needs. I've now got an HP colour laser AIO |
| 15 |
device. It was expensive but it does everything I need with minimal fuss. |

The only point I'd make about HP AIO devices is that while the hplip |
| 18 |
package is free and open source, to use it with a scanner it downloads a |
| 19 |
non-free binary blob. Whether this matters depends on whether you are a |
| 20 |
pragmatist or zealot ;-) |

I had a similar device and it was a bitch to set up. |
