An all-in-one (AIO) printer could be overkill if you just have occasional print jobs — say, a weeknight dinner recipe or a form for a doctor’s office. In that case, a good scanning app and a cheap, print-only laser machine can suffice. But if you have a school-age kid or do work that requires a lot of copying and scanning, an all-in-one might make sense.We recommend the Brother MFC-J4355DW because it is cheap to run, produces quality prints, and can handle a variety of print jobs.
