I am looking for a good wireless multi function(print/scan/copy) printer for <10k.

hp is preferable because of their eprint service

Well I just got this printer a few weeks back with all the features you are asking for
Buy HP B-110a PHOTOSMART AIO PRINTER at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews

I am not however happy with the print quality as it appears a bit smudgy to me. Maybe I need to tweak the print quality settings or i am expecting laser type quality. But overall its good. Photos I printed were good. And a few colour text documents were also neat so maybe I need to input appropriate settings. Recommended buy.

Took HP since their service is good.

Thanks for the suggestions
As you said, its print quality does not seem good enough for the price.
Any better option?

I am thinking of getting a hp photosmart b210a (because it has airprint functionality while b11a does not). Any owners out here?? How does it fare in printing quality??

What is airprint? I have the b11a as i said above. You can look at its cheaper sibling as almost all printers from the same family show minor differences in quality.

Which aspect of print quality:
Text or colour

Text: Its like any other inkjet. Throws out smudgy text at lowest setting but that saves ink so I still have it on "draft" setting. I printed a ticket on medium settings and it came in laser like quality so I guess only the lowest setting true to its name gives lowest quality prints. This should be common across all HP printers.

Colour: A few photo samples I printed were good. since it is primarily a photo printer.

All in all a good buy.

Used e-print feature just once. It prints the whole email in a different font. I need to verify this again. I havent tried printing photos on the cloud yet so I dont know how to do that. Good feature if you are gonna need it frequently. Otherwise not worth spending extra for this.

Finally I would say dont pay for features you will never use.

Airprint
Apple - iPad - Print right from your iPad with AirPrint.

Actually, airprint would be quite a nice feature for my ipad.

Thanks by the way for the review of b110a. B210a should be quite similar in printing quality.

edit: it seems b110a is also airprint compatible through a firmware upgrade

Oh that means it will work with an ipod too. I think I need that firmware. Thanks for that info.
