so...question regarding monochrome laser printer as an option.. [View all]

(because I have terrible experiences with color inkjet scanner-printers)

I need to at least be able to scan in color to an sd card and ultimately use the image in color on the internet.

I realize that a monochrome printer-scanner will only print in B&W.

But will it scan in color to the SD card? And/or directly to computer?

Thanks in advance.
