8710 inkjet printers.

About $100 each.

Very straightforward. In my experience, compatibility with your computer will be the biggest challenge - printer and driver installed on it, that is.

HP really wants you to connect to the web so they can track your ink usage and automatically send you new cartridges, which happens if you use it wirelessly. Once you do, though, you can't share cartridges between machines (like when they send me too many), install refurbished ones, and the like.

We have one hooked up to wifi, one not.

It's kinda slow (ink jet), but quality is good, decent support, it will do double-sided, and I can print from any device - including Android phone - as well as my laptop.

Good luck!
