    My parents are looking for a new printer for basic use, including documents and maybe photos.
    Their criteria are:
    1. HAS to be All-in-One
    2. readily available printer cartridges (i.e. available at retail stores)
    3. Has to be able to connect to home network so they can print from anywhere in the house wirelessly
    4. ~$125

    If you want to buy cartridges in the store, it probably has to be a HP, Canon or Lexmark. Do you want one with a network card cause those tend to be more expensive. Alternatively you can just hook it up to a desktop and share it on the network.
