There are two different "flavors" of HP inkjet printers. Those that
have integrated printheads and those that have separate printheads
and ink resevoirs.

does networking, not printing, but has seen both kinds of printers in
his days.

I've used color printers since the early days of dot matrix and rainbow
ribbons. Courtesy of uncle sam, experience was gained with wax transfer,
color lasers, and various ink jet and bubble jet printers.

Conclusions-
Home use Canon printers produced the best overall results for home use. HP
led the others in the Office market.
Small business can go either way, depending on printing volume.
Epson good printers, higher ink costs, "chipped" ink tanks
Lexmark High ink costs, driver problems
Brother High ink costs, driver and application problems with multifunctions.
(Multifunctions seem to be a problem area for more than one Mfr.)

I currently own Canon S750, Epson R300M, Brother 720CN, HP612, Panasonic
multifunction black Laser, Epson 3250 dot matrix, and a dead Canon 620(head
failed, and costs more than a replacement printer of better print quality).
An old Epson MX80 is still around somewhere, but has a bad interface. The
Panisonic has a replacement drum and toner cost higher than the original
cost of the printer. A previously owned Canon S600 went to my daughter and
her husband when an older HP inkjet failed.

SOUND REASONABLE
