In the not-so-distant past, printing documents from your computer screen meant hand feeding sheets (one at a time) and waiting as each ink dot painstakingly created each line of text. The process was not for the patient or time pressed.
Thankfully, printers have come a long way since then. Nowadays, wireless iterations work over Wi-Fi through your home network, so you can print from virtually any device—laptop, smartphone or tablet—even if you’re not in the same room (working from the patio, anyone?). Some are app-enabled and have smart-home compatibility, meaning all you have to do is ask your device to print and you shall receive. Here are some of the most intelligent models on the market for meeting all your home office needs.
