My Epson 680 died. I loved it. I bought a refurbished Artisan 810. Piece of shit. Epson has copied HP's load paper upside down to create a smaller footprint. So you have to load checks upside down in reverse order. Photo paper may or may not go around the roller and print properly. And don't try to print more than one photo at a time.

I sent an e-mail to Epson accusing them of buying HP rejects and slapping the Epson logo on them. A friend bought a new all-in-one recently and it loads paper the same way. I guess it's their new design. Sucks.

Works like a charm with my PC and my Mac. Excellent scans and file sorting ability. As with all printers ink is the bummer.

I have an HP inkjet that drives me insane.

It is supposed to be wireless, but my computer sees in only intermittently. It repeatedly gives me messages that the printer can not connect, even when directly connected. They it will magically correct the situation after rebooting of everyone multiple times.

I hate it.

and I was told that if you are using a router the data has to hop wirelessly from the computer to the router to the printer. With the 2 hops there is twice as much chance for interference in the signal. If you want to use wireless, try plugging the printer in to the router so there is only one hop from the computer and it might work better for you. Anyhow, this is why I don't care for a wireless printer I prefer to plug it directly in to the computer regardless. It works way better.

Manually link printer to router, then contact router. What a pain, though! For whatever reason, manual link from computer to printer is not working at all.

Apple had a special and sent it free when I got my iMac. I don't know if mine is for sale, but I know for a while printers were scarcely more than the price of the cartridges at some places.

My troubles started when I thought I'd save money and bought Office Depot brand cartridges. It has never been the same despite the cleaning routines and going back to Canon cartridges.

Now I can only print in black. No matter what I do, I cannot get color prints. And it's not like you can get them repaired anywhere, etc.

I'm going to hate to let it go when it finally gives up. I've made thousands of copies, scans, etc. on it. I have some big scanning projects to do with it yet. I have to say, that process has always been aggravating.

I thought I had a pretty good little machine until this happened with the cheap cartridges, now I've accepted that I'm just screwed.

Apple has some that are not too expensive and may do what you want. When mine finally dies that's where I'm going. They will generally ship it for free to your place:

Other than those printers from Apple, I don't have any recommendations, but will bookmark this in case someone has good ideas.

Good luck.

We have a Brother MFC-9970CDW. I would seem to meet your "want" list. Black is produced from black toner. Consumables cost is actually lower than an ink jet printer. It is an all-in-one and can be wireless or wired, but not both at the same time. It does duplex printing automatically without paper flipping if you set it that way (by the job, not a permanent setting).

We had an HP cm2320 laser all in one that was a terrible machine. This one is far better.

I will check out the Epson 680, Canon MP470, Brother MFC-9970CDW if they are still available. Also Apple. I can't believe what these companies are doing with their products, its tempting to go back to the old fashioned typewriter. I've had this stupid printer for more than a year, have probably printed out 50 or 60 sheets, have bought cartridges twice and its stopped again. I refuse to spend another dime on it.

If I have any luck I will let you know.

A real workhorse and very reliable.

It was a real gem.

I read some articles as I was getting the photo and many are still going strong -- 300,000+ pages.

Mine was fairly costly by their standards. The others hit a sweet spot, too and they go up by about $100 a level from top to bottom.

it prints wirelessly without any issues from my mac or iphone

I've not heard of that one before. Will also check on the Brothers.

I can print, copy, scan, and fax. I don't have to keep it turned on when I'm not using it, and I can use it with my Mac shut down.

It will be delivered tomorrow. Kind of big, I hope it fits on my desk. Will print both sides but does not do duplex automatically. Works well with the mac. Its black only, the kid said the toner is half full and it will print "only" 1200 pages, did I need an extra cartridge. haha... this will be sheer luxury considering the last printer consistently ran out of ink and locked itself up after 30 pages. The ratings and comments were very favourable on it and bonus it is on sale for half price.

I have a large format pro Epson (forget which model) I use for high dpi photo output. I also have an Epson CX1750 all in one I use for print output and small photos. They both worked with SL and now Lion.

Both are inkjets; I think we're getting a color laser next because I'm married to an insane person.

hooked it into my apple router and zero problems ...
love it ... when I print pics I just drop em to a memory stick
and go to the drug store ....
