I would suggest the Samsung SCX-6322DN. It’s a space-saver

I use a Canon Imagerunner C3220 which I bought from http://www,amatteroffax.com a few months ago. I would suggest buying the same thing because it is a duplex tray machine with scanning, printing, copying, faxing and networking capabilities. That would mean you can send your files to anyone via email or FTP. It could come in handy if you have important documents to distribute. The one I have is for the office actually but I think it would do well for your home too. On the other hand, if you want a smaller multifunctional printer, I would suggest Canon Pixma but it lacks a few features which you can find from the ImageRunner series.
