In the past two years I've purchased two All in One laser models, one Canon and one Brother. They've both been excellent and indistinguishable in quality and performance as far as I'm concerned. The same features - scanning, copying, and printing. There are some that will also send and receive faxes if that's of interest for you. Both purchased (at different times) from Office Max/Office Depot. One was about $125, the other $150. Good printing speed, very light use of toner (and pretty inexpensive to replace the cassettes), high quality images, easy to use after setup.

I would unplug the printers, disconnect/detach/remove/delete (whatever term fits) each printer's software/driver/default setting from each PC, reboot both PCs and then reconnect each printer in turn to each as if doing so for the first time. Both PCs should have plug and play and automatic driver downloads so it may pay to try a fresh start. Nothing to lose, no damage done, see what happens.

For a custom ombre wallpaper, focus on vendors specializing in digital printing—always request a physical sample to check color accuracy and gradient smoothness before full production. Discuss material options (non-woven, vinyl, etc.) with both your designer and installer to ensure compatibility, especially for seamless application. Your designer likely has trusted suppliers; ask if they’ve previously printed ombre designs successfully. Avoid printers that skip proof approvals, as ombre requires precise color transitions. Quality varies, so prioritize vendors with detailed reviews mentioning large-format or fade-heavy prints.

Ok, Elmer, fair enough. As mentioned, I often print recipes and I find the pictures much more attractive in color than in black and white. I also print documents (from my volunteer activities, memberships, etc.) that are clearer when in color as certain areas are highlighted (links, for example). Sometimes I print notices to laminate and post in our neighborhood (I'm on the Board of our neighborhood Association), and the like. So - yes, color is important to me.
