I'm going cross-eyed looking at ads for home office printers. Every

want to go look at the next machine.

My current printer is an HP Photosmart that keeps having an ink error.
In the past I've been able to do a master reset, which allows me to
print in black only, because that's all I need right now, but a 3rd
color cartridge ran out of ink and set up that ink error again. The
master reset hasn't worked this time, and I've tried it about 10 times
thus far.

I can buy the color ink cartridges and install them, but it's no
guarantee that it will them allow a master reset. It had been leaking
one of the color cartridges, and that started all of a sudden, but
allowed me to print in black until now.

So, I'm thinking it's time to chuck this printer that's at least 10
years old and get a new one.

Any recommendations? I like inkjet, color, and all-in-ones
(printer/scanner/copier...)

We have an Epson Workforce 635...even does 2-sided printing (slicker than sh*t). It has never jammed in 6 years and we use it a fair amount for church and technical stuff. 3-color does excellent photo printing and they're not dinky cartridges. *****5-stars


After a lot of looking and comparing, I finally settled on this one:
Epson WorkForce WF-3620 WiFi Direct All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer,
Copier, Scanner. It was on sale at Office Depot for $89 (normally
$160). I got it set up this afternoon, and it's not too big, and not
too small. I've printed on it and scanned to pc already. Haven't
hooked up the fax yet, but need to figure out where I have a phone
connection so I can do that. Oh, and I have it set up wired, now, but I
have the option to also set up wifi printing, too, if I need that.
Right now I don't really need wifi printing.
