All-in-one printer, scanner and copier???
OK, my Epson printer LOVES ink. I don't even print in color and for some reason the color ink gets used. And yes, I've check all the settings...
I find myself more and more running out making copies of receipts for rebates, etc... I don't do any photo printing.
Black/White and color cartridges will cost me about $50. Are the all-in-one printers a good buy? I know a HP can be had for $99. I'm not looking for anything that can print super quality pictures... Black and white is my main goal. And having the scanning/copying may make it worth the extra $50 for the upgrade.

we bought that printer for one of the computers in the house... 2 weeks later, one of the OLDER printers (an awesome printer the HP2000C) broke, so i went out and bought another hp1210,
i really like it, works well-- decent photo pictures, quick printing and the scan/copy works well

Bought it...
Works very well actually. Prints better than my Epson and that's the most important thing to me. Having the scanning/copying is just icing on the cake.

Just a note about the old epson, even if the color ink is never used, it will dry out over time. I have an HP that does that every now and then and finally asked the office depot people why.

HP printer heads are on the cartridges, so every time you get a new cart, you get a new head. Much better design, IMHO.

ALL inkjets suck ink like crazy. Dell uses Lexmark to make their printers because they have a reputation for using the most ink. (Dell wants to sell lots of ink.) I'm not a huge fan of all in one printers because they usually cut a lot of corners to keep the price down. But if B&W and reasonable consumable costs are your goal, you should really have a laser.
