I have two versions of the HP PSC machines. Absolutely love 'em. I didn’t have to buy a copier or a scanner.
Mind you, they are not intended for high volume stuff, but for the occasional scan or quick “I need three copies” thing, they are great.

HP 4200. Also has fax function which essentially paid for the thing (about $100.00 at Sam’s Club) when my husband had to fax 58 pages :eek: of doctor’s notes about his compression fracture to our short-term disability insurance carrier this summer. I use it as my regular printer (we also have a Photosmart 5500) and am using the copy function regularly.
I have had HP printers ever since my household started using computers in 1996 and I will never buy a different brand.
YMMV
We have a Cannon MP390 which does everything I need it to do.
My only suggestion to this thread is that on the Cannon and an HP I used to use at the office, it seemed like the ink cartridges go out very quickly. So while your looking it might be worth researching how many prints you should get on average from a cartridge if that kind of stuff annoys you like it does me. Nothing worse thatn having to print a document for work and the printer is just flashing “Low Ink” at you.
Wife has a HP 1315 hooked up to my “Straight Dope Interface Machine” and it seems okay except she always manages to leave “the original” in the machine after copying which then prevents it from printing, and eventually totally jamming up the spooler and the Framulator rod that conjoins the Knarkle valve and seizes up the whole works.
But other than that, its okay.
I have a Lexmark X6150, paid for by my employer, so I didn’t have a choice. It works fairly well, though I think my cats jumping up and down on it damaged the electronics somehow, so it’s gotten a bit wonky. I may replace it on my own dime with something else, most likely won’t be a Lexmark.
I have an HP psc 1110, bought at the day-after-Thanksgiving sale at WalMart for about $50, which is what it costs me to replace both ink cartridges. I love it, and it works great for the copying I do. I scan a few things with it, and that works quite well. I’m looking to buy another one, perhaps with a fancier photo printing capability, and give this one to my daughter. I love being able to make copies right at home. It’s great for copying knitting patterns and recipes from library books, and for all that day to day printing. Plus when my sister makes her quarterly phone call to me asking for the meatloaf recipe again, I can just scan the chewed up recipe card and email it right to her.
My son printed out a whole book on this thing.
Proud owner of a Canon MP500. I’ve only had it a short time (it only came out a month or two ago), but I’m completely knocked out by the quality of it so far. Research suggests that ink replacement will not be too prohibitive. Perhaps the best $180 I ever spent.
I used to have an Hp that eventually died. Now I have an Epson Stylus CX5200-which is ok but I sometimes have to have someone come and re-install the drivers because quite frankly I can t9 like the best of them but can’t really understand computer technology.
