find me a printer

i'm looking for a printer i can connect directly to my wireless network, ideally without a third party wireless adapter.

other than that, it needs to be reasonably fast, like 20ppm minimum.
able to do color and black and white.
preferably a scanner too.
possibly print 11x17, if not no biggie.

Also check Dell. I don't know much about their reliability, but I've heard their prices are great.

We have that one at work. It works well for text and line art, but the color print quality isn't too impressive. And it's kinda slow for what it is.

so i picked up what looked like a decent machine. a hp deskjet 6980. what a freakin pos. there's an allegedlly super easy to connect it involving the "secure easy setup" button on my router and on the printer. all that did was wipe out all my isp settings on my router, which i haven't input in over 2 years. this rendered me frustrated. so now it's midnight, damn printer still isn't connected, and i'm very irritated.

it might just go back tomorrow and get exchanged for something else + wireless adapter. maybe if i keep the wireless crap all linksys it should be easy?
