I gave up on ink jet printing- just too much of a pain and too overpriced. Bought a B&W Brother MFC-L2740DW laser all-in-one. Got an unreal price- was $300, then on sale for $200, and then another $50 rebate, so it was $150!! Fax, copying, ONE PASS DOUBLE SIDED color scanning, duplex printing, flatbed, networking, color touch screen, USB, ethernet, AND Wifi, web interface, Linux compatible, fast, etc.
1.5 years later, I am still on the "STARTER" cartridge! I ordered aftermarket replacements from Amazon for super cheap and still haven't used one yet. Occasionally I miss color printing, but I certainly don't miss the noise, smearing ink, long waits, constantly being out of some stupid cartridge, etc.
