Default New wireless printer recommendations

Can anyone suggest a decent and reliable printer for printing kids' homework and photos? It must be wireless as we have 3 lappies, a PC and a Mac. Cost? Say up to £150... Thanks Tony...

Would you want an all-in-one, which can scan and photocopy (and possibly fax)as well as print, if so I'd recommend the HP OfficeJet J6400 which is about £120

Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to hook up the printer to the PC then just put it over the network?

No. As then you have to have the PC on all the time and you're limited to where you can place the printer. This is the setup I have currently - a HP PSC 2110 attached to an XP box.
