I am purchasing a all in one printer, scanner/printer/copies and was wondering what it is I should be looking for. They are describing that they print up to xxxx by xxxx dpi resolution and scan up to xxxx-dpi color, etc. I am not sure what this means or what is a good thing. Plus why do they all say cable not included. What kind of cable do I have to buy then?? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Just go to Best Buy, grab a sales person and say "I want the HP Officejet 4215 all in one and what cable do I need with it?" LOL It's a great little all in one. I am so pleased with how easy it is to use, and it was $99.

Thanks Texannie, I did finally figure out what cables to get. My girlfriend likes the HP6210, but I will take a look at the 4215 and see what the specs are. I am now at the place where I am comparing the specs to figure out what to get, but I don't really understand what the specs are telling me. I don't want to buy a printer that will print publishing documents when I just need to print receipes, if you know what I mean, LOL.

Oh, Dipo, you mean I'm not the only one who doesn't understand all that stuff? Technology is starting to fly by me.

Dipo, I just picked up a HP Officejet 5510v at Walmart for $150, copy/scan/fax/print. Seems to be pretty good for the price.

Thanks for all the input, I am now doing a spread sheet to compare all the suggested printers. One thing I am noticing is that some of them have a maximum paper size of letter, I am assuming this is for the scanner. Does this cause anyone problems, I always thought I would have more legal size documents but maybe that is an delusion on my part. ETA: Or does this mean I can only have documents print that are letter versus legal, this will make a big difference to me. Thanks everyone for your input.
