What is the best wireless (iOS AirPrint) All-in-one Printer for under $100?

My wife refuses to not get me a Christmas gift this year, so I'm at least asking for something that I can actually benefit from having. What brand and model of printer do my fellow gdgteers recommend? I'd like to stay between $50-100 if possible. I have an iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 4G, Apple TV, iPad 2 and a Mac Mini, if that helps the suggestions. Thanks guys!

I love my HP Photosmart D110a (gdgt.com­/hp­/photosmart­/d110a/)

It's currently $66 on Amazon! ((www.amazon.com­/HP­-Photosmart­-Wireless­-CN731A­-B1H­/d...))

Not sure if it is the best, but I just picked up the HP 3054A this week. I didn't need a printer, but I got a Macbook Air and they offered me $100 off a printer so I took the printer they had in stock that was under $100. So far I have only set it up and tested one print job from the Air. Set up on my wireless network was easy and it printed the test page just fine. Sorry I can't give more usage information.

Epson NX430, it isn't quite as simple on AirPlay setup; at least I had to do this (support.epson.net­/airprint­/fw.html) on my roommates. Anyway the ink cartridges are all separate (meaning you don't have a tri-color cartridge where if one color goes out you need to replace the whole tri-color setup), plus they give you full tanks when you first buy it! Yay for avoiding starter cartridges... Plus ink from Epson is pretty dang reasonable.

I didn't realize that AirPrint was available to more than HP now -- so I picked up an HP black Friday special Photosmart. Then I happened to look today and saw that I could've gotten an Epson or Canon.

I actually just have my non AirPrint printer hooked up to a synology nas. Anything which supports cups can make any printer into an AirPrint compatible printer with a setting adjustment.

Instead of buying a new printer, I simply installed Printopia on my Mac. It accepts print jobs and forwards them to either PDF files (stored locally to the Mac). or to any printer the Mac uses (mine's a networked Brother laser).

Easy to install. Transparent to use. Cheap when compared to a new printer. Your Mac Mini would also support it.

Just a happy user:
