Not really the point but, you can pick up wireless deskjet printers for next to nothing these days... at least they are designed to work this way. :)

That's what I have for a color printer/scanner on my system, the HP C7280, works great for all the machines and allows me to scan and FAX as well from the network. :)

The two laser printers work through two of the NAS boxes to allow us all access.

I've also got a HP colour deskjet/scanner/copier - may even be the same model. Happy with mine except the 20,000 HP software apps that are eager to install. HP Update Updater, HP Real-time Ink Monitor, HP Real-time Ink Monitor Update Wizard, HP Ink Monitor Monitor, HP Paper Buying Guide 2010 Edition Lite..... OK, it's not that bad. I made the last one up. :)

HP usually offers two drivers - the full package to which you refer, containing both driver and applications, and a second "driver only" package (which typically has to be downloaded from their website)

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.

Indeed it does and I usually opt for the driver only package. Except I wanted to use the scanner software and found the executable to do it, but it wouldn't launch properly without installing the full blown software. I think last time I did it I was given the option of which software I wanted to install so that's always nice. As it happens last time round I just installed everything :)
