Submitted by Keith Metzler on Fri, 09/27/2024 - 14:05

Finding the best wireless printer for your home can be overwhelming. Whether you're working from home, need to print school assignments, or just want to print family photos, you want a printer that’s both convenient and reliable. But what separates wireless printers from their non-wireless counterparts, and why should you make the switch?

The biggest difference is flexibility. Non-wireless printers require a direct connection to a computer, usually via USB or Ethernet cables, which can limit where you can place the device. 

Wireless printers, on the other hand, offer the freedom to print from virtually anywhere in your home using Wi-Fi without the hassle of cables. This not only reduces clutter but also allows multiple devices—laptops, smartphones, or tablets—to print seamlessly without needing to swap connections.

There are three basic things we all want more of: money, space, and time. 

That’s why more and more people are choosing to switch to Chromebooks.

Chromebooks are laptops that run on Google’s Chrome OS. They are smaller, lightweight, and come with popular Google cloud apps such as Gmail and Docs pre-installed. These computers take up less space than traditional laptops. They are also cheaper on average and easy to use for anyone familiar with Chrome and Google’s apps.

Many organizations are switching from laptops to Chromebooks to save money, time, and space. However, a new operating system brings new obstacles for users printing with Chromebooks.

Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi. Ford vs. GM. Netflix vs. Hulu.  

Brand competition is like a never-ending game that shapes our daily choices. From picking out a soda to choosing our dream car, the battle of the brands is always on display.

However, brand comparisons may seem less relevant when it comes to a more unfamiliar industry, like printers.    

“Does it really matter which brand of printer I purchase? I mean, it’s just a printer?”    

This reasoning is faulty. As a local print vendor for nearly 40 years, we have partnered with Xerox and have seen printers' technological advancements firsthand. Choosing the right brand to fulfill your office equipment needs can be the difference between a wise investment and a costly mistake.
