You probably know this feeling all too well: You’re getting ready to print out a paper that’s important, and your printer has either run out of ink, run into a paper jam or just doesn’t want to work at all.

If you’re working from home right now, you probably need an all-in-one printer for home that’ll handle all those spreadsheets from your boss and won’t take up too much space in your home office. If you’re getting your kiddo ready for a school-from-home season (including finding them a desk for homework or blue-light-blocking glasses for when they are on their laptops), you could be searching for a cheap home printer so that they don’t miss any assignments.

Either way, you’ll want to have a reliable printer at home for projects and paperwork, especially when you don’t want to walk to your neighborhood library or local print shop to print out a single page.

All-in-one prints might be a good option for the whole family. The majority of printers will print, copy and scan, but not all printers are capable of faxing, so make sure you find a model that does what you need it to. In our list below, this Canon monochrome model and HP wireless printer can send and receive faxes.

Fortunately, you don’t have to look too far for printers that’ll handle the projects you need them to, and be affordable. The HuffPost Finds team found the best printers out there that are all under $100.
