I never though buying a new printer for my home office could be so much work. I started this morning at 7:30 crawling through the search engine results looking for a good printer. I made my way for CNET where I was greeted by 4/5 stars given by the CNET Reviewers and 2/5 stars given by other people. What does this mean? Are the CNET reviewers paid for a favorable review? Are there lots of trolls and saboteurs trying to damage the reputation and score of a competitors printer?

I learned a few things today that I have never had to think about before becoming an entrepreneur. Why? Because at all of my previous companies, some entrepreneur had already thought through these decisions. Today was like earning a boy scout badge for office equipment buying. (Features x Price)/Time was the formula for the morning. How to maximize features and value while spending as little time possible to acquire the optimal business printer.

I need print, scan, fax. I want copy, an automatic document feeder (just learned this term), laser vs. cartridge (Im frugal), and wireless. I don’t want a big, slow, ink guzzling piece of plastic that will require me to go all “Office Space” on.
