I'm in the market for an all-in-one printer (copier, scanner, printer).
What brands and/or specifications would you recommend?

Thanks.

We have a Hewlet Packard psc 1315v unit which is a scanner/faxer/printer/photocopier. What I like so much about it is that the device is compact, does NOT have all these jutting out paper loaders from the top and works extremely easily. This device had a flap in the ront that flips down to hold the paper and can close for compact storage when done.

I have enjoyed using this machine for several years with no problems.

This site has similar devices that may better suit your needs. If you have any questions,just ask.

Thank you. I am considering either HP (PSC 1510 or 1610) or Canon (Pixma MP 130 or 170); I've had two HP printers at home that I've been happy with, but at work we use Canons, which are really nice.

I'm wondering how noticeable the difference is between the models. For example, 36-bit color compared to 48-bit, 600 dpi scanning resolution compared to 1200 dpi. I would imagine your HP 1315 is similar to the HP 1410, and it sounds as though you're happy with the quality, so I'm not sure if the higher-priced models would be worth it...

I have a Lexmark X1150 all in one and I've been very happy with it. Photo printing quality is excellent.
Lexmark X1150

I bought a factory refurbished Lexmark Print Trio X75. It still works perfectly after 16 months use. I find it very easy to use.

The unasked question was How much is the Ink cartridges? All are expensive bar... Epson
I'm considering buying an Epson "all in 1" soon as my old Epsom printer has finally expired (Got it second or 3rd? Hand) but it was easy to set up and run (and so long as I didn't print heavily colored pages it was easy on the ink consumption (uses a 3in 1 certridge for color) and they were about the cheapest to buy (and they are stocked just about everywhere)
Lots of things to consider
Here is the Epson Site Page which has the current models www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductCategory.jsp
Pricewise they are the same as Lexmarks

Ps Here is a lot of refurb/clearance Epson All in ones (ex factory)

I just ordered the HP 1510 from CircuitCity for $95.
I agree that the Lexmark printers seem to be good products,
but ultimately I chose the HP because of its streamlined shape,
its included photo-project software, and my history of good experiences with HP.
Thanks to all of you for your input.

Here's an excellent price on a Lexmark all-in-one, for anyone who may be interested.

(I had coupons from CircuitCity to reduce my HP purchase price even further.)

The refurbished Lexmark X4270RFB Refurbished 4-in-1 Printer, Scanner, Copier & Fax, next to the one in MsSueM's link, has the advantage of having a telephone and a fax machine built into the unit. It costs an additional $20.
Here is the warranty for the refurbished model.
