Greetings,

For a long time, I was doing just fine without having my own printer. I had an old HP that did fine, but once it broke, I didn't get another for several years.

However, I am now in a situation where I need to find a good, easy to use, and inexpensive printer that will be accessible for me to use. I won't be printing all the time, but I will need it for some things.

I would like for it to work with both my computer and iOS devices. I'm guessing it will have to be a wireless one.

The problem is that I've heard many blind people say that it is hard to find a good printer now that isn't all digital or with a touch screen.

Also, because I didn't use it frequently, my old printer's ink would dry up, and I would need to make sure that didn't happen with this printer. 

I thought it was time to ask my blind expert friends. Any thoughts?

If it's one of those Printer/Scanner/Copiers, no problem. That is just fine.

If we don't want to clutter this list with emails on this topic, feel free to email or call me and we can chat.

Thanks much.

Jim Portillo

Hello, in my opinion you cannot go wrong with the brother printers. I've had a laser monochrome brother printer for almost 10 years now and it is absolutely wonderful. If the one I have from 2014 is still kicking strong, any of the new laser printers from brother nowadays will be even better. 
The one I have has both ethernet and Wi-Fi and USB capabilities. The web page interface for it is completely accessible. Although I cannot print directly from iOS devices, I can certainly print directly from windows, mac, and android. These printers usually sell for right around $100, sometimes less on amazon. If you get one that has more than printing capabilities such as faxing and scanning, then you are of course looking at more. However you can certainly find most options for under $150 from amazon. Good luck.
