I recommend a multifunction laser printer (office quality! not the cheapest) that will print, scan, photocopy and fax. (OK. I admit that I'd be lucky to send one fax per year these days) My current unit was made by HP, it will print black-and-white, but scan in color. It will handle both sides of a sheet of paper. And has a multi-sheet paper feed. I have it as a network printer using wifi. It also has ethernet and USB, and I believe it also has IR but I have never used that, so I can't be certain. My previous unit was a 'home' level multifunction printer. It still printed very well, and it scanned single sheets of paper when I replaced it, but the flimsier 'home quality' multi-sheet feeder broke and was not repairable. I once bought a color laser multifunction unit but the color copies that came out used a waxy color ink that was disgusting to store and use. I also tended to use it in black-white mode more often than not. I personally wouldn't bother with a color printer unless you specifically need color output for some reason.
