Greg,<br><br>I agree with MicroCenter, we have had problems with Epson printers over the years with gumming up with they sit idle for any length of time. One thing that you did not mention was what operating system you were planning on hooking this printer up to. <br>
<br>If the operating system is *NX, then I would recommend HP since they have native drivers and have supported the community for years. On the windows side, I would look at a cannon, they seem to have the best features/reliability for the price.<br>
<br>Hope this helps a little.<br><br>Mike<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 5:41 PM, Greg Freemyer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:greg.freemyer@gmail.com">greg.freemyer@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I've got a high-end printer at the office with all the high-end<br>
features I can dream of, but now I want to replace my home printer.<br>
<br>
I don't need huge speed, duplex, etc.<br>
<br>
I do want good paper handling (ie. no mis-feeds), photo printing<br>
(including 4x6 photo paper, etc.)<br>
<br>
A simple copier / scanner would be nice as well, but not at the<br>
expense of reliable paper handling.<br>
<br>
I've been reading reviews and looking at printers in Target/Micro Center/Costco.<br>
<br>
And I think I know less now than when the day started.<br>
<br>
Micro Center says Epson have ink issues with it gumming up.<br>
<br>
The reviews by the pros seem to totally ignore reliability and focus<br>
on features / speed. The reviews by the users seem to be pretty<br>
negative in general.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Obviously the cheaper the better, but I'm more concerned with reliable<br>
paper handling than anything.<br>
