Hello Marco,


I moved to the US from Europe before Euros became a thing, but still 
familiar with the metric system.


I have a Canon MX492 (Pixar), price $45 rather small (within your 
dimensions), works just fine on my wireless network. It  is a printer 
flat bed scanner, copier (and also fax for if you want to get 
nostalgic). You just need to install the right drivers/rpm for it.

My sister has one working in a wireless residential environment, I am 
using Cisco enterprise switches/routers/APs, VLANs etc, and works just 
fine there too.
