Re: Boring question but...
We paid Dha129 for a perfectly functional HP Deskjet. No idea what you mean by witeless...or even wireless for that matter. Is there such a thing?

We got a HP Deskjet 3050 about a month ago, Carrefour are doing them right now for around 299 SR.
Wireless printing & scanning and also a copier. Not bad for the money, cartridges a small though, probably not intended for heavy use.

Re: Boring question but...
you can get printers that are wi-fi, ie no wires anywhere which makes it handy.

Ditto - I use it for a home office and it does ok. Wireless is pretty good as well....

Re: Boring question but...
do you need colour?
I wouldn't waste my time with inkjets unless you need colour on a regular basis - I got a Samsung ML 1910 laser for about 350Dh from Carrefour - No issues with ink drying on the cartridge etc.
Home print photos always look exactly that - they are good but much better (and cheaper) to let someone else print them.

Re: Boring question but...
It already can be to a limited extent and there's a lot of work going on to make it practical for everyday use...
Like Autonomy says wireless printers can be a pain. One alternative is to plug the printer into your wireless router so the printer itself isn't wireless but you can access it wirelessly... if you see what I mean... you need to have a printer with an Ethernet socket or a router with a USB printer socket (Apple routers have these).

And I do need colour yeah, but doesn't have to be amazing resolution or photo printing.
