I’m in the process of buying a new printer/scanner/copier.  I think I’ve settled on getting a Canon printer after noticing the following trends:

Epson has major ink-cartridge issues (clogging, leaving up to 25% of ink unused, huge cost) – this has even led them to have an out-of-court settlement that entitles all people who bought an Epson printer from 1999 to earlier this year to $45 ($25 check + $20 store credit).  The link is www.epsonsettlement.com/ if you are eligible.  I know that I am filing one.

HP, on the other hand, apparently has serious scanning issues and paper feed problems.

That leaves Canon as the remaining main personal printer manufacturer.  I have gone through reviews of the Canon PIXMA series and have seen largely positive reviews and none of this ink-cartridge/scanning problem/paper jam crap.  Hopefully these printers will work .. I’m kind of sick of troubleshooting printers.
