Hi
I need to get a printer for my MBP. I love to keep my MBP cable-free so I want something that has built in wifi or that can be plugged to my wireless router at home. I found two printers that fit my needs: HP 6940 (with ethernet) and the HP 6980 (with ethernet and wifi)
I really, really love the way the 6940 looks. Its brushed metal surface matches perfectly with my MBP. And even thou it doesnt have wifi, I could plug it to my router and have wireless printing.
The 6980 has both ethernet and wifi and only cost about $30 more than the 6940. It looks ok I guess, but it wont match my MBP.
I currently have my router in my home office and I could very well place the 6940 next to it but in the future we plan on moving to our own home and who knows then were the router might be and I might need a built in wifi printer by then... oh decisions....
Any advise? BTW , how good are these printers in terms of print quality and ink consumption? Also, I would think that printing through wifi is slower but how much when compared to USB?
